Instructions
▢
Sift the flour and put it in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment on.
▢
Add the yeast and the room-temperature butter.
▢
Turn the mixer on low to mix the ingredients together, adding in the 185 grams of room-temperature water slowly.
▢
Mix on low for several minutes until the dough is uniform and compact.
▢
Add the fine salt and mix on medium speed for a few minutes.
▢
Turn off the mixer and remove the dough from the bowl and place on a cutting board.
▢
With your hands, roll back and forth to create a long oblong shape.
▢
Cut into five equal parts.
▢
Start with one part and roll back and forth until you form a long, thick cord of about 50 cm. The ends should be thinner than the middle.
▢
Form an open knot, pretzel shape and attach the ends, pinching to attach it firmly.
▢
Place each formed pretzel on a sheet covered with flour, and leave all 5 to rise for 30 minutes.
▢
After rising for 30 minutes, place them in the fridge to rest for an hour.
▢
Preheat the oven to 430° F.
▢
Put a large pot with 2 liters of water over medium heat and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the baking soda.
▢
Prepare a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper.
▢
Using a slotted spoon, place the first pretzel into the boiling water and cook for 30-40 seconds.
▢
Drain the pretzel well and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat for all the other pretzels.
▢
Slice a long line in the fattest part of each pretzel. Sprinkle them with pretzel salt.
▢
Cook in the oven at 430° F for 20 minutes, or until deep golden brown.
▢
Serve the pretzels warm.
