Ingredients

1 package (.25 oz) active dry yeast2 tbsp brown sugar1 1/8 tsp salt1 1/2 C. warm water4 C. all-purpose flour2 C. warm water2 tbsp baking soda2 tbsp melted butter1-2 tbsp coarse salt or preferred topping (optional)

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, add yeast, brown sugar and salt. Test water temp with thermometer. When 110 degrees, add to bowl. Stir well to dissolve. Add flour, stir well.

Knead dough on floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Grease a large bowl and place dough inside, then flip it upside down to coat it entirely. Cover with a towel, put in a warm spot, and let rise for an hour.

Combine 2 cups warm water (110 d.) and baking soda in small pan. After dough has risen, divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about a foot and half long. Twist into whatever shape pleases you, dip into baking soda mixture. Place on cookie sheets and let rise 15-20 minutes.

Bake at 450 for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with topping.

Yields 12.

No butter, milk is optional, I used water in my recipe because I was out of milk, and no baking powder needed. These muffins come out very moist like a cake. Submitted by: AKRUNR49

Not bad, but mine actually didn't rise hardy at all. :( But the flavor was good. - 9/22/14

Being used to fresh, real German pretzels, these were actually quite good. I had trouble making the coarse salt stick to the pretzel, but these are good, easy to make and smell terrific when baking. - 2/3/09

This is the same recipe as "Mall Pretzels" on allrecipes.com - a great recipe, but i'd be worried about calling someone else's recipe your own. - 7/15/08
