Ingredients
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup baking soda
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add in the melted unsalted butter and salt, then gradually add the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
Boil 10 cups of water and the baking soda in a large pot.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 20 inches long, then cut each rope into 2-inch pieces to make nibblers.
Step 8
Dip each nibbler into the boiling baking soda solution for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 9
In a small dish, beat the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the top of each pretzel nibbler with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 11
Transfer the pretzel nibblers to a cooling rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
