Ingredients
Directions
Prepare the Yeast
Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

Mix them
Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center; add the butter and yeast mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is dry, add one or two tablespoons of water. Knead the dough until smooth, about 7 to 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Roll them
Step 3

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in hot water.
When risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into a pretzel shape. Once all of the dough is all shaped, dip each pretzel into the baking soda solution and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush on melted butter.

For Hotdog wrapped pretzels
Step 4

If desired, instead of making into ropes, you can wrap around hot dogs.

For Salty Pretzels (Optional)
Step 5

Sprinkle with kosher salt if making a salty pretzel.

Bake them
Step 6

Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, until browned.

For Cinnamon Sugar (Optional)
Step 7

If you want to have a cinnamon pretzel, brush the hot cooked pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.

These pictures are from a long long time ago when I had my sister in law and nephew at our house visiting. We decided to make a batch of pretzels and the fun ensued. I prepared the dough in advance and then let everyone make their own.
