      Title: Buttery Soft Pretzels
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 12 Pretzels
 
      4 ts Active dry yeast
      1 ts White sugar
  1 1/4 c  Warm water (110°F/45°C)
      5 c  A-P flour
    1/2 c  White sugar
  1 1/2 ts Salt
      1 tb Oil
    1/2 c  Baking soda
      4 c  Hot water
    1/4 c  Coarse salt; for topping
 
  In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in
  1 1/4 cup warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10
  minutes.
  
  In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and
  salt. Make a well in the center; add the oil and yeast
  mixture. Mix and form into a dough. If the mixture is
  dry, add one or two more 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.
  
  Set oven @ 450°F/230°C. Grease 2 baking sheets.
  
  In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in 4 cups hot
  water; set aside. 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 shaped, dip each pretzel
  into the baking soda-hot water solution and place
  pretzels on baking sheets. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  
  Bake until browned, about 8 minutes.
