New York Pretzel
Here’s a fantastic recipe that allows you to recreate the magic of New York pretzels in no time. Grab your ingredients, and let’s get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Add in the flour and salt gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 24 inches long, and shape it into a pretzel.
- In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are deep golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly before enjoying your delicious New York Pretzels!
