Warm, buttery pretzels coated in sweet honey butter, offering the perfect balance of salty and sweet. A fun and customizable snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ cups (355 ml) warm water
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120 g) baking soda
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) honey
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) melted unsalted butter
  • Coarse salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine yeast, warm water, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the dough: Mix flour, salt, and yeast mixture in a large bowl. Knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let it rise: Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm spot until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the pretzels: Divide the dough into 12 pieces, roll each into a long rope, and twist into pretzel shapes.
  5. Prepare the baking soda bath: Boil water and baking soda. Drop each pretzel in for 30 seconds, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Brush pretzels with melted butter, sprinkle with coarse salt, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Make the honey butter glaze: Mix honey and melted butter. Brush the glaze over warm pretzels.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

[‘Ensure water for yeast activation is warm but not too hot.’, ‘The baking soda bath is essential for the chewy crust.’, ‘Brush generously with honey butter glaze for maximum flavor.’, ‘Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.’, ‘Customize with cinnamon sugar, cayenne, or Parmesan for variations.’]
