BUTTERY SOFT PRETZELS
After spending so much money on those Mall bought pretzels, I thought I'd try making some myself. So here's a recipe that has worked for me. These pretzels are a bit sweeter than other types and are buttery. These are great plain with a bit of pretzel salt or coated with cinnamon and sugar. Once finished, dip the hot pretzel in melted butter and coat with your favorite flavors. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add the oil and yeast mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is dry, add one or two more tablespoons of water. Knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in 4 cups hot water; set aside. When risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda-hot water solution and place pretzels on baking sheets. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 8 minutes.

Tips:
- Use warm water (110-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast will not be activated and the dough will not rise.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the pretzels their chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Shape the dough into pretzels. There are many different ways to do this, so find a method that works for you.
- Boil the pretzels in a baking soda solution before baking. This will give the pretzels their distinctive brown color and chewy texture.
- Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
