The simple process of boiling the pretzels in a baking soda solution before baking gives them that signature pretzel taste that everyone loves.<\/p>\n<p>What makes this recipe special is how easy it is to customize! You can sprinkle your pretzels with coarse sea salt for that authentic touch or even experiment with different toppings like garlic powder, cheese, or even cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat. Serving these warm, right out of the oven, creates a mouth-watering experience that turns any snack time into a celebration.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ingredients\"><\/span>Ingredients:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 and 1\/2 cups warm water (110\u00b0F to 115\u00b0F)<\/li>\n<li>1 packet active dry yeast (2 and 1\/4 teaspoons)<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon sugar<\/li>\n<li>4 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup baking soda<\/li>\n<li>Coarse sea salt for sprinkling<\/li>\n<li>1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instructions\"><\/span>Instructions:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar.
