How to Make Super Awesome Pretzels
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon baking powder.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix 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.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 18-inch long rope.
- Shape each rope into a pretzel. (You can find many pretzel shaping tutorials online!)
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 cup baking soda.
- Gently boil the pretzels for 30 seconds per side, then remove and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- For a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping (optional): While still warm, brush pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle generously with a mixture of 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
