What better than a hot soft pretzel while watching a movie lounging out on the couch!
Ingredients
* 2 1/4 teaspoon(s) (1 packet) dry active yeast
* 1 teaspoon(s) brown sugar
* 4 cup(s) bread flour
* 4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted
* 1 tablespoon(s) molasses
* 2 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
* 1 large egg white
* 1/4 cup(s) baking soda
* 2 tablespoon(s) coarse salt
Directions
1. Make the dough: Coat a large bowl with vegetable oil and set aside. Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl, stir until yeast dissolves, and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, butter, molasses, and 2 teaspoons salt. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead — incorporating additional flour as necessary — until dough is smooth and elastic — about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to the prepared bowl, turning to coat all sides with oil. Cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and set aside to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume — about 1 hour.
2. Shape the pretzels: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Divide into 15 two-ounce pieces. Form each piece into a ball, roll each ball out to a 1/2-inch-thick “rope,” and twist each rope into a pretzel shape. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Whisk together the egg white, 1 tablespoon water, and the remaining salt in a small bowl and set aside. Bring 4 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Poach pretzels 2 at a time for 30 seconds on each side. Transfer pretzels to a parchment-lined baking pan, brush lightly with the egg-white mixture, and sprinkle with the coarse salt. Bake until golden — about 15 minutes. Serve warm with Cheese and Mustard Dipping Sauce.
