Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.33 cup Unsalted baking soda
- 5 cups Water for baking soda bath
- 1 Egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add melted butter to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too tacky.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until 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 5 cups of water to a boil and slowly add the baking soda, stirring to dissolve completely.
Step 7
Turn the risen dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into six equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 12 inches long.
Step 8
Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the nuggets.
Step 9
Carefully place pretzel nuggets into the boiling baking soda bath for about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Brush the tops with beaten egg; this will give the pretzels their signature shiny finish.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are deep golden brown.
Step 12
Allow to cool slightly and enjoy your low sodium soft pretzel nuggets while warm.
