For a richer flavor, brush the baked pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or parmesan cheese. If you don't have coarse salt, you can use regular salt, but the texture will be different. Make sure the baking soda is fully dissolved in the water to avoid any bitter taste.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLightly flour a work surface. Place dough on flour and sprinkle more on top. Knead dough, incorporating about 2 tablespoons flour until soft and supple (5-10 minutes).
02
StepCover with a large bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature (15-20 minutes).
03
StepPreheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal.
04
StepIn a deep skillet, whisk baking soda into water, creating an alkaline bath. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a low simmer.
05
StepDust dough with flour to prevent sticking. Flatten and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball.
06
StepShape each ball into a disk, thinner in the middle, thicker around the edges. Poke a hole in the center. Gently stretch and pull until you achieve a round pretzel shape.
07
StepTransfer pretzels (in batches) to the simmering alkaline bath. Boil for 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet using a slotted spoon. Immediately sprinkle with coarse salt.
08
StepLet rest for (5-10 minutes) before baking.
09
StepPlace on the center rack in the preheated oven until beautifully browned and stretch marks have formed (about 20 minutes).
10
StepTransfer pretzels to a wire rack to cool slightly.
