Dough Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add in the salt and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
Shape the Pretzels
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a pretzel.
Boil the Pretzels
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Sesame Seeds
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the boiled pretzels before baking.
Bake
Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve
Let the pretzels cool slightly before serving with mustard.
