Mall Pretzels Recipe

In a large mixing bowl dissolve the yeast brown sugar and salt in 1 1/2 cups warm water. Stir in flour and knead dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover and let rise for one hour.

Combine 2 cups warm water and baking soda in an 8 inch square pan. Line 6 baking sheets with parchment paper.

After dough has risen cut into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 3 foot rope pencil thin or thinner. Twist into a pretzel shape and dip into the baking soda solution. Place onto parchment covered baking sheets and let rise 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
