Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sea salt (plus more for topping)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. 1. Activate the yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. 2. Mix the dough: In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture to the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. 3. Let it rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. 4. Shape pretzels: Roll pieces of dough into ropes and twist them into heart shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. 5. Boil and bake: Boil water with baking soda in a large pot. Briefly boil each pretzel before placing them back on the baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. 6. Finish: Immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt and chopped rosemary while warm.
