Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Step 2
Add the salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Then stir in the whole wheat flour and mix until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, 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 6
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.
Step 8
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 18 inches long, then tie each rope into a knot.
Step 9
Working with one or two knots at a time, carefully dip them into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds and then return them to the baking sheet.
Step 10
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush a light coating over each pretzel knot, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 12
Let the pretzel knots cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
