How to Make Auntie Anne's Pretzels Copycat
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Gradually add bread flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a 24-inch rope.
- Shape each rope into a pretzel (either a traditional pretzel shape or a twist).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add baking soda and stir until dissolved.
- Carefully drop pretzels into the boiling water, 2-3 at a time, for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle generously with coarse salt.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
