Mini Soft Pretzels
8
Mix together the warm water and 1/2 tablespoon sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Sprinkle with the yeast and let sit for ⏱️ 10 min. (yeast should foam up).
warm water1 cup
9
Add 1 cup of flour to yeast, and mix together on low until combined. Add the salt and 1 and a half more cups of flour. Beat on medium low until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add the last 1/2 cup of flour and knead on low for ⏱️ 5 min. or so. (If the dough still seems wet and sticky add another 1/2 cup of flour).
Flour1 Tablespoon- 3 cups flour2 1/2
10
Transfer the dough into a large bowl coated in the oil. Turn the dough to cover all sides with the oil as well. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for ⏱️ 1 hour. The dough should double in size.
11
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet or two (depending on how big your sheets are. I have once giant one) with cooking spray or cover with parchment paper.
12
Punch down the dough and transfer to a lightly floured board. Knead once or twice and divide into 32 pieces (These pretzels once cooked were about 1 1/2 - 2 inches wide). Wrap in plastic.
13
Roll one piece of dough at a time into a 10-12 in strip. Twist into a pretzel shape and transfer to the prepared baking sheets. Cover with a towel and continue to form all pretzels. Let pretzels rest until they rise slightly, about ⏱️ 10-15 min.
14
Fill a large, shallow pot or saucepan with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil. Add baking soda (be careful, it foams up quickly) and 1 tablespoon sugar. Reduce to simmer and place 4-6 pretzels in the water. Poach ⏱️ 1 minute on each side and place back on the baking sheet. Repeat process for all pretzels.

15
Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush each pretzel with a bit of the glaze. Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake for ⏱️ 10-12 min or until golden brown. Let cool on wire rack.
