Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups warm water
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1 packet active dry yeast
– 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– Cooking spray
– 10 cups water
– 2/3 cup baking soda
– 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
– Coarse salt
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
2. Add the flour and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and then knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth.
3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7. Brush each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt.
