Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon oil
0.6666666666666666 cup baking soda
some water
2 beaten eggs
some salt
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix warm water, salt, and sugar until combined. Add dry active yeast, and let rest 5 minutes or until yeast starts to foam.
Add flour and oil, and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Remove the dough and use the remaining oil to cover the bowl.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
Cut dough into 8 pieces and roll them out into thin ropes, twisting the two ends to form a pretzel shape. Alternatively, roll each segment into a thin rope and use a bench scraper or knife to cut into nuggets.
Add baking soda to a large pot of water, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side.
Transfer pretzels to a baking sheet, brush with beaten eggs, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
