  • Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
  • While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbs. baking soda.
  • Be certain to stir often.
  • After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape.

Toppings:

  • After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt.
  • Or for Auntie Anne's famous cinnamon sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow bowl( big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another bowl, make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  • dip the pretzel into the butter, coating both sides generously. then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.
