These buttery homemade soft pretzels are coated in savory Sour Cream & Onion seasoning for an irresistible snack that's perfect for parties, game day, or afternoon cravings.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 8 cups water (for boiling pretzels)
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2-3 Tbsp Sour Cream & Onion Powder (SKU 276077)
• Coarse pretzel salt (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and brown sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Stir in the salt, melted butter, and flour. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope about 20-24 inches long and shape into pretzels.
6. Bring the 8 cups of water to a gentle boil and carefully stir in the baking soda.
7. Boil each pretzel for 20-30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheets.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzels are deep golden brown.
9. While still warm, brush each pretzel generously with melted butter.
10. Sprinkle or toss with the Sour Cream & Onion Powder until evenly coated. Add a light sprinkle of coarse pretzel salt if desired.
