Directions
Preheat your oven to 400° F. Prepare a large stock pot with 8 cups of water and 1⁄3 Cup baking soda. Prepare two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
While your oven is preheating, pour the Rustic Scoop™ Pizza Crust Mix into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast. Mix well to combine. Next, add the ¼ C softened butter and mix until there are no large chunks. Now add your sugar of choice and water. Mix on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
Turn the heat of your stock pot to high, with the lid on, until it is boiling. While your water is heating up, roll out all of your pretzels. On a silicone mat, scoop out 1⁄3 cup of pretzel dough. Put plastic wrap over the rest of the dough so it doesn’t dry out. Slowly begin rolling your dough into a long rope. Start rolling from the middle with your fingers open as wide as they go, rolling outwards. The rope should be about 16 inches in length. Once your dough is rolled out, take each end, bend it upwards making a large U shape, then put one side over the other, lift up and twist one more time, then pull the twist down to the bottom of your rope. Your ends should be about 1 1⁄2 inches long and go past the bottom of your rope. It should now look like a pretzel. Gently transfer to your parchment paper. Reshape if necessary. Repeat until all of your pretzels are made.
Once your water has come to a boil, begin boiling each of your pretzels. Using a slotted spatula, place 3-4 pretzels into the boiling water for 30 seconds. After they are done boiling, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Repeat with each pretzel until they are all done. Bake at 400° F for 17 minutes. Enjoy!
