Soft Pretzels
Submitted by: Jimmy
 These homemade pretzels are great with mustard.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 packet(s) , Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup(s) , Water Warm 110 Degrees F.
  • 3 cup(s) , A.P. Flour
  • 2 tablespoon(s) , Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tablespoon(s) , Sugar
  • 6 tablespoon(s) , Baking Soda
  • 6 cup(s) , Water
  • 0 as needed , Coarse Salt

Instructions:
Dissolve yeast in warm water, let stand a few minutes.
Add 1-1/2 cups of the flour, along with the oil and sugar.
Beat about 3 minutes to make a smooth batter.
Gradually stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and silky, about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a greased bowl; turn over to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Lightly grease baking sheets.
Punch down, turn out onto a floured board and divide into 12 pieces.
Roll each piece into a smooth rope about 18 inches long.
Twist into a pretzel shape.
Place about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
Let rise, uncovered, until puffed, about 25 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Meanwhile, in a large stainless steel pan whisk baking soda into the 6 cups of water.
Boil to a gentle boil.
Lower one of the pretzel into the water, keep water at a gentle boil.
Let simmer for 10 seconds on each side.
Remove from water with a slotted spoon and drain off excess water.
Return to the baking sheet.
Let dry for 1 minute.
Sprinkle with coarse salt and let stand, uncovered, while repeating the process with remaining pretzels.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer to racks; serve warm with butter or mustard
