1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
1 ¼ cups warm water
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup baking soda
8 cups water (for boiling)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Coarse sea salt (for topping)
Directions
Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
Shape Pretzels: Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll each into a long rope and twist into a ring shape, pinching the ends to seal.

Add Egg Wash: Place pretzels on a lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
