Ingredients

Scale

3 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
1 cup Warm Water (110°F)
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
⅔ cup Baking Soda
Sprinkles/Chocolate Chips for decoration

Instructions

Activate yeast: Combine warm water and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Mix dough: Add sugar and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let dough rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Shape pretzels: Punch down dough, divide into 8 pieces, and roll each into an 18-inch rope. Shape into ghost or pumpkin forms.
Boil pretzels: Bring 10 cups of water to a boil with baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side.
Bake pretzels: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place boiled pretzels on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Decorate and serve: Cool pretzels slightly, then decorate with sprinkles or chocolate chips.

Notes

Store un-decorated pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Ensure warm water is around 110°F for yeast activation.
Knead dough thoroughly for a chewy texture.
Do not skip the baking soda boiling step for classic pretzel flavor.
Allow dough to rise until doubled for fluffiness.
Get creative with shaping and decorating.
