Pizza Dough Soft Pretzels

Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling on top)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect pretzel texture.
- While the water is heating, divide the pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 24 inches in length. Twist the rope into the traditional pretzel shape.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully drop one pretzel at a time into the pot. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds, then use a slotted spoon to remove it and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each pretzel with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pretzels from the oven and brush them with melted butter while they’re still hot for added flavor.
- Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dips. Enjoy!
