Softball Pretzels

By: Kayla ..

Description:
Time:	1 hr 42 min (1 hr 30 min to prepare, 12 min to cook)
Meal type:	Snack
Ethnicity:
Number of Servings:	12
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (about 98 degrees F) 1 package active dry yeast 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour, sifted 2 tablespoons Butter, softened 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 4 cups water 5 tablespoons baking soda 4 tablespoons butter, melted 1 dash kosher salt
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. When the yeast dissolves, add half of the flour, the butter, salt, and sugar and mix for about 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is no longer sticky. Let the dough rise in a greased, covered bowl until it doubles in size, about 45 to 50 minutes. Punch down the dough and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece of dough into 18-inch long ropes. On a greased cookie sheet, shape each rope into a pretzel shape. Let rise again until almost doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. In a large non-aluminum Dutch oven over high heat, bring 4 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Using a large spoon, gently lower pretzels into water a few at a time and boil for about 1 minute, or until they float. Return the pretzels to the cookie sheet and brush with melted butter then sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake until browned, about 12 minutes. Serve hot with mustard.
