Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Baking soda
• 8 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring the 8 cups of water and baking soda to a boil.

Step 7

While the water is coming to a boil, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Roll each piece into a 20-inch rope and shape it into a pretzel.

Step 9

Gently place each pretzel into the boiling water for about 20-30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over each pretzel.

Step 11

Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse sea salt.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 13

Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
