Basic Soft Pretzels

[DreamingPilgrim]

Hi guys!! Anyone here looking for a tasty, easy-to-make snack for your kids? Try this one! you won't go wrong with it, I promise!

INGREDIENTS​

Soft Pretzels:

• 1 cup warm milk
• 1 package instant yeast
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• more flour for dusting

Extras:

• 1/4 cup baking soda whisked into 3–4 cups warm water
• 1 egg
• coarse salt

---

INSTRUCTIONS​

1. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, gently whisk the warm milk, yeast, brown sugar, butter, and salt. Stir in the flour until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead 10-15 times.
2. Let the Dough Hang Out: Return to the bowl and drizzle with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cover with a cloth or plastic wrap and set aside for an hour to rise.
3. Pretzel-ify: When the dough has risen, punch it back down and divide it into 6-8 sections. Roll each section into a loooong skinny rope. Fold it into a pretzel. Dip into the baking soda solution and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake: Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. YUUUUUM! Dip in cheese sauce, mustard, or my personal favorite – beer cheese soup.
   
   Enjoy guys!

There's something so satisfying about biting into a warm, chewy pretzel fresh out of the oven. Whether you enjoy them plain or dipped in mustard or cheese sauce, they're perfect for snacking, parties, or just a cozy night in. Plus, making them at home means you get to enjoy that irresistible aroma wafting through your kitchen. I can almost taste them already!
