Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 0.5 teaspoon Coarse salt (Low sodium)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour and melted butter to the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 7-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 3
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 5
In a large pot, combine 4 cups of boiling water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda, stirring until the baking soda is dissolved.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12-16 inches long, then tie each rope into a knot.
Step 7
Immerse each pretzel knot in the baking soda solution for about 20-30 seconds using a slotted spoon to remove them. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
Sprinkle the pretzel knots with the low sodium coarse salt.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Step 10
Transfer to a wire rack to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium soft pretzel knots!
