Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 packet of active dry yeast
3 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (105 - 110 degrees F.)
1 tablespoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal and extra flour for dusting worksurface
Coarse kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, and water and let stand 5 minutes until foamy and bubbly. Add remaining sugar and salt and stir well. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing by hand until well incorporated. Knead dough until smooth about 7 minutes and has a sheen. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, for 40 minutes in a warm place.
  • Dust your work surface with flour and cornmeal. Divide dough into approximately 12 pieces and roll out to desired length and thickness. (Note: thinner=crispier). Form dough into pretzel-shapes and transfer to a baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with cornmeal. Allow pretzels to rise for 30 minutes, uncovered.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Carefully transfer risen pretzels to boiling water with a spatula and boil on one side for 2 minutes, flip and boil other side for 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer boiled pretzels to a rack to drain for 1 minute. Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet, lightly dusted with cornmeal, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.

These pretzels were a bit bland. I think I'll add some garlic and herb butter next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pretzels didn't rise properly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pretzels didn't turn out as good as the ones in the picture. Maybe I didn't knead the dough enough.

These pretzels were a little too salty for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not a huge fan of pretzels, but these were really good. The dough was soft and fluffy, and the salt crust was just right.

I've made pretzels before, but these were by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the pretzels turned out perfectly golden brown.

These pretzels were amazing! They were so soft and chewy, and the salt crust was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making these again.
