Instructions
1: Combine all dough ingredients except for butter. Knead until no dry spots remain. 2: Incorporate the butter and knead until smooth. 3: Shape the dough into a ball, place it into a bowl, cover, and let it proof for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. 4: Divide the dough into 8 equal sections and shape them into balls. Gently flatten using your hand or a rolling pin. 5: Place the buns onto individual sheets of parchment paper, cover, and proof for 30-45 minutes or until they are noticeably puffy. 6: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a well-ventilated area, whisk the water and lye together until the solution turns clear. 7: Using gloves, submerge each bun into the lye bath for a couple of seconds, then transfer the pretzel onto a lined baking sheet. 8: Score the tops of each pretzel and top with coarse pretzel salt. 9: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pretzels are a deep golden brown color.View original recipe
