Ingredients

• 500 g white flour
• 0.75 tsp salt
• 0.25 cube yeast
• 3 dl milk
• 2 tbsp honey
• 60 g butter
• a little white flour
• 2 litres water
• 4 tbsp sodium bicarbonate
• 1 tsp sea salt

Steps

1. Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl. Add the milk, honey and butter, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.
2. Divide the dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, shape into strands that are approx. 40 cm long and thinner at the ends. Shape the strands into 8 pretzels.
3. Bring the water and baking soda to the boil, reduce the heat. Using a slotted spoon, place the pretzels in the simmering water one at a time for approx. 15 secs., turn and cook for a further 15 secs. Space the pretzels out evenly on two baking trays lined with baking paper, sprinkle with salt.
4. Approx. 20 mins. in an oven preheated to 180°C (convection). Remove from the oven, leave to cool completely on a rack.
