Carefully place each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake and Finish:
Add Toppings:
Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool:
Allow the pretzels to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Tips for Success:
Yeast: Ensure your yeast is fresh and the water is not too hot or too cold to activate it properly.
Boiling: The baking soda bath helps give the pretzels their classic chewy texture and golden color.
Storage: Pretzels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
These pretzels are perfect for a fun snack or a delicious homemade treat. Enjoy the process and the tasty results! 🥨✨
