The Best Soft Pretzel Recipe

Most people think homemade soft pretzels are a project, but they’re not! The dough is one of the most forgiving yeasted doughs I make with just a few ingredients, and I give you an alternative option to knead it by hand if you don’t have a stand mixer. The whole thing comes together in about an hour and a half, most of which is hands-off rise time, and the dough only needs one rise. What turns a plain rope of dough into an actual pretzel is one 30-second step: a dip in boiling water spiked with baking soda. Skip it, and you’ve simply baked breadsticks.

  1. Recently got my copy of everyday baking. I hope one day you will come to the Uk, would love nothing more than for you to sign it. You have been such an inspiration!

  2. They’re very good sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds too.
    So good. My grandson makes pretzels now too.
