Ingredients
15 servings
- •1.5 cups warm water
- •1 tablespoon white sugar
- •5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- •4 cups all-purpose flour
- •0.25 cup melted butter
- •1 teaspoon coarse salt
- •1 egg, beaten
- •coarse salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Mix water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; add yeast. Let mixture stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour, butter, and salt together in a bowl until well mixed; add yeast mixture and stir with a fork until dough starts to cling. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth.
- Cut dough into 15 equal pieces and roll each piece between your hands into rope shapes at least the thickness of a pencil. Twist dough into desired shapes and arrange on a baking sheet; brush with egg and sprinkle coarse salt over each.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pretzels are browned and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
