Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.67 cup baking soda
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
In a large pot, bring about 10 cups of water to a boil. Slowly add the baking soda.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a loaf or oval-shaped bread.
Step 8
Carefully drop each dough piece into the boiling water mixture, one at a time, boiling each for about 30 seconds on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
With a sharp knife, score the tops of the loaves with a few diagonal slashes.
Step 10
Sprinkle the top with coarse sea salt.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the bread is a deep golden brown.
Step 12
Allow the pretzel bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
