Ingredients:
\nPretzel Dough
\n 5 1\/2 cups(660 grams) bread flour
\n 2 tablespoons(25 grams) sugar
\n 1 tablespoon(9 grams) instant dry yeast
\n 2 teaspoons(12 grams) kosher salt
\n 1 1\/3 cups(301 grams) warm water (between 95\u00b0F to 100\u00b0F\/35\u00b0C to 38\u00b0C)
\n 4 tablespoons(56 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
\n Neutral oil, for greasing
\nAssembly
\n 18 cups(4.25 kilograms) water
\n 2\/3 cup(160 grams) baking soda
\n Egg wash (1 large egg plus 1 tablespoon water), for brushing
\n Coarse or flaky sea salt<\/p>\n
Directions: <\/p>\n
In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and kosher salt to combine, for 30 to 60 seconds.
\nAdd the water and butter and mix on low speed for about 3 minutes, until the dough comes together. Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix for about 4 minutes more, until the dough is very smooth.
\nTransfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until noticeably puffy and nearly doubled in size.
\nDivide the dough into 8 even pieces (about 130 grams each). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working with one piece of dough at a time and loosely covering the remaining dough, cup your hand over a piece of dough and roll in a circular motion on the work surface to form into a tight round. Transfer to the prepared sheet as you go.
\nCover the rolls with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes, until noticeably puffy.
\nIn a large pot over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the baking soda, then reduce the heat to low. Working in batches, add the dough to the water and let soak, flipping once halfway through with a slotted spoon or spider, for about 1 minute.
\nReturn the soaked pretzels to the parchment-lined sheet, leaving at least \u00bd inch around each piece.
\nArrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; heat the oven to 425\u00b0F\/220\u00b0C.
\nBrush the pretzels with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake the rolls, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through, for 18 to 22 minutes, until deeply golden brown (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion should register at least 195\u00b0F\/90\u00b0C). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
