Title: Garlic Pretzels
Ingredients:
– 1 pound pizza dough
– 1/2 cup baking soda
– 2 cups warm water
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– Sea salt, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 20 inches in length.
3. Shape each rope into a pretzel by forming a U-shape, then crossing the ends over each other and pressing them onto the bottom of the U to create a pretzel shape. Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
4. In a large bowl, combine the baking soda with the warm water, stirring until the baking soda is mostly dissolved. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution, then return it to the baking sheet.
5. Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
6. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7. Once the pretzels are baked, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle sea salt on top while the butter is still warm. For an extra pop of color and flavor, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
8. Serve the Garlic Pretzels warm and enjoy their irresistible garlic-infused goodness!
