Let’s be honest, is it really a sporting event without a soft pretzel? Salted or plain, mustard, melted cheese or as-is, these concession stand snacks are a favorite for every die-hard fan. Cheer on the 49ers or the Chiefs and snack on these Soft Pretzels for an undeniably delicious Super Bowl app.

Cook time: 45 min

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups warm water
• 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 3-4 cups all-purpose flour
• Coarse salt for sprinkling
• ½ cup baking soda

Instructions:

1. Whisk the active dry yeast into warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Allow to sit for one minute to let the yeast activate. Whisk in the salt, brown sugar, and melted butter, then slowly add in three cups of flour, one cup at a time. Mix with a dough hook on medium-low until the dough is thick. It should feel sticky. Add 3/4 to 1 cup more flour and mix until the dough is no longer sticky. The dough should bounce back when poked with your finger.
2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough for three minutes. Shape into a ball and cover loosely with a towel. Rest for 10 minutes. While the dough is resting, add the baking soda and 9 cups of water to a large pot. Bring to a boil.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4. Divide the dough into 1/3 cup sections. Roll the dough into a long rope, and rope it into a pretzel shape.
5. When the water is boiling, drop 1-2 pretzels into water for 20-30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon, letting as much water as possible drip off. Put the pretzels onto the baking sheet, then sprinkle each with sea salt.
6. Bake for 15-17 min or until golden brown.
