Knead the flour, warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and butter into a smooth dough.
Let the dough rise for 45 minutes, until nearly doubled.
Divide the dough into 8 pieces, roll each into a long rope, and shape into pretzels.
Boil the water and baking soda, then dip the pretzels in the bath for 30 seconds.
Place the pretzels on a tray and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake at 220°C for 10 to 12 minutes, until deep golden.
Serve the baked pretzels warm with whole-grain mustard.
💡 Tip: The baking soda bath gives the crust its dark color, shine, and pretzel flavor.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with whole-grain mustard and cheese dip.
