Buttered Soft Pretzels

Buttered Soft Pretzels

Buttered Soft Pretzels

For the dough:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup warm water

For the water bath:

  • 1 ½ cups boiling water
  • 2 tbsp baking soda

For topping:

  • coarse salt

For brushing:

  • 3 tbsp Grassland Unsalted butter melted

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast. Stir in the water, and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it all comes together in a smooth, soft ball.
  • Sprinkle some flour on the dough ball, and cover to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the water bath. Stir the baking soda into the boiling water. (Be careful when you add the baking soda, the water will bubble up for a few seconds!) Pour the water in a baking dish. Set aside to cool to lukewarm temperature.
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured working surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a thin log. Twist each log into a pretzel- twist the ends twice together, fold over, and tuck the ends underneath.
  • Place the pretzels in the water bath, 4 pretzels at a time, and let bathe in water for one minute per side. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the pretzels generously with sea salt. Allow to rest uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Bake until the pretzels are a dark golden brown, around 10 minutes.
  • While the pretzels are baking: melt the 3 tablespoons of Grassland butter. When the pretzels are out of the oven, brush them generously with melted butter.
