Steps:
- Mix together brown sugar, salt, and yeast in big bowl.
- Mix together oil and water and add this to the sugar and yeast mix.
- Add the flour and mix to a nice doughy (not sticky) consistency. Knead with mixer a few minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 balls and shape into rolls (I like long oval shapes) and let rise on greased foil cover sheet for 20-30 minute until nice and puffy. (I raise mine in a warmed oven--preheat to lowest setting then turn OFF, THEN put in the dough to rise).
- Meanwhile, bring water and baking soda to a SIMMER in a wide pan with straight sides and preheat oven to 375.
- Place 4 rolls in the water and simmer 1 minute then flip and simmer 1 minute more.
- Drain and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining rolls.
- Brush rolls with egg white and sprinkle generously with kosher salt. Slash decoratively with a SHARP blade.
- Bake until 'pretzel' brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- Enjoy!
SOFT JUMBO PRETZEL STICKS (SUPER EASY)
Many chain restaurants have now added soft pretzel bread sticks to their menus with various sauces.

Steps:
- 1. Roll each piece of dough into a 5" rope. Place on a large prepared baking sheet. Cover with saran wrap sprayed with non-stick spray, place in a warm spot and let rise for about an hour.
- 2. Place 2 quarts of water in a large saucepan. Add baking soda and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Gently place each stick in the soda water and simmer gently for 15 seconds per side.
- 3. Drain on a wire rack and return to prepared baking sheet. (I use parchment paper.) Score lightly every inch or so, if desired. Combine egg with 1 TB. water to make an egg wash. Brush each with egg wash and sprinkle with course salt.
- 4. Bake at 375 degrees for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
- 5. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: I like mine with honey mustard or yellow mustard, but a melty cheese sauce is also delicious. On game day, I serve with my Wisconsin Beer Dip. (Recipe in comments section.) Also excellent served with Cheddar Potato Soup.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (110-115°F) and add a pinch of sugar to help activate the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough for at least 5 minutes will help develop the gluten and make the pretzels chewy. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
- Proof the dough in a warm place: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the pretzels: Roll out the dough into long ropes and shape them into pretzels. You can also make other shapes, such as knots or breadsticks.
- Boil the pretzels before baking: Boiling the pretzels in a baking soda solution gives them their characteristic chewy crust. Do not skip this step!
- Bake the pretzels until golden brown: Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Homemade pretzels are a delicious and satisfying treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a little time and effort, you can easily make soft and chewy pretzels at home. So next time you're craving a pretzel, don't reach for a bag of store-bought pretzels. Instead, make your own with this easy recipe!
