Steps:
- Combine the water, sugar and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. Add the flour and butter and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl and then oil it well with vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and sit in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 half-sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with the vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Bring the 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan.
- In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 24-inch rope. Make a U-shape with the rope, holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the parchment-lined half sheet pan.
- Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds. Remove them from the water using a large flat spatula. Return to the half sheet pan, brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake until dark golden brown in color, approximately 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

SOFT PRETZELS WITH CAMBOZOLA CHEESE FONDUE
Steps:
- For the pretzels: Whisk the warm water, yeast and pinch of sugar together in a small bowl and let bloom for about 5 minutes.
- Add both flours, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, kosher salt, eggs and yeast mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix on low speed to combine. Then, with the mixer running, add 4 tablespoons of the melted butter and knead on medium speed until the dough comes together and is smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, add the dough and coat the top of the dough with a little more oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough has doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal pieces, each about 3 ounces. Using your hands, roll each piece into an 18-inch rope. Form a U shape with each rope and twist the ends together twice; bring the twisted ends up to the top of the U and press each section of the twist onto either side of the U to create the pretzel shape and press down on the ends lightly so they stick. Transfer the pretzels to the prepared baking sheets and let rise for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Slide the parchment paper with the pretzels on them to a work surface near the stove. Line the 2 rimmed baking sheets with fresh parchment paper.
- Fill a large pot with water, add the baking soda and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Lower the heat so the water is very gently simmering and, using a slotted spoon or spider, add 2 or 3 pretzels and boil for 30 seconds, flipping them once. Do not overcrowd the pot. Transfer each pretzel to a prepared baking sheet, 6 pretzels on each, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt. Bake until the pretzels are deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- For the fondue: Combine the cream and cornstarch in a small pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the honey. Then add the cheese a bit at a time, whisking constantly to incorporate. Continue whisking until the fondue is thickened, about 1 minute. Serve warm with the pretzels.
TRADITIONAL SOFT PRETZELS
When I went to Switzerland, I had amazing soft pretzels from a stand on the side of the road. I've been trying to find a great soft pretzel recipe ever since then. While this one isn't quite as good as the ones I had in Switzerland, they're pretty darn good.

Steps:
- Mix the water, yeast, brown sugar and salt in a food processor or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the flour and mix until the dough is smooth.
- If you have time, chill the dough for at least an hour so that it is easier to form.
- Now divide the dough into 4, 6 or 12 pieces, depending on how many pretzels you'd like to make.
- Roll each piece into a very thin rope, slightly thicker than a pencil.
- Form each rope of dough into an upside-down U shape on your table.
- Bring the ends pf each rope together and twist them.
- Flatten the ends with your fingers, and bring them to the top of the pretzel pressing them into the dough to secure the shape of the pretzel. (If you have trouble with the twisting, just do your best to make them look like pretzels. The shape won't affect the taste.).
- Place the pretzels on a greased cookie sheet.
- Now let the pretzels rise for about 30 minutes, or until they have roughly doubled in size.
- Boil the 4 cups of water with baking soda, and then dip each pretzel in the solution for 10 seconds.
- Remove the pretzels and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Beat the egg with the 1 teaspoon of water, and then brush it onto the pretzels so that they'll be nice and golden.
- Sprinkle the pretzels with more of the salt, or any other garnish you'd like. (sesame seeds, cheese, cinnamon, etc.).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes on 425 degrees, or until they're brown and golden.

GOLDEN SOFT PRETZELS
What makes a pretzel a pretzel is the step of boiling them in baking soda water. If you dip them in baking soda water but don't boil them in it, or if you use egg yolk to brush them, they are not going to turn out like pretzels.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast and sugar in 2 cups warm water in a large bowl; let stand until bubbling, about 10 minutes. Beat butter, egg, and 1 teaspoon salt into yeast mixture until smooth.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
- Divide dough in half; cut each half into 8 pieces. Roll pieces out on a floured surface into ropes about 1/2-inch thick. Shape each rope into a pretzel.
- Bring 5 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan and dissolve baking soda in the boiling water. Boil pretzels, a few at a time, in the baking soda water for 10 minutes. Arrange pretzels on prepared baking sheets and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine, yeast, water and honey; let sit for 10 minutes.
- Add butter, salt and 1 ½ cups flour to yeast mixture; with the dough hook attachment, process on speed 3 until smooth, adding 1 tablespoons reserved flour (1/2 cup) until the dough clings around the hook. Increase speed to 4 and knead for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the bowl and form a ball by pulling under. Place in a large bowl lightly oiled and turn to coat the ball. Cover with a clean towel and place in a draft-free area. Let it rise for 1 ½ hours or until it doubles in size.
- Punch dough to deflate, form a ball by folding under and then divide into 4 equal pieces. Take one at a time and press down stretching it into a rectangular shape before rolling it up tightly from one side to the other; pinch the seam together. Roll it out back and forth with your hands to 12-inches long, tapering the ends. Set aside while working on the others.
- Take the 1st piece that was rolled out and roll it out again to 24-inches long keeping the center slightly thicker. Take the ends and form a "u" shape, then cross them over and over again. Bring them back to the top of the loop, pressing the ends firmly into the pretzel shape. Transfer to 2 baking sheets lined with a silicone mat or lightly greased. Cover and let them proof for 30 minutes or until they double in size.
- About 20 minutes later, preheat oven to 400ºF. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add water and baking soda; stir to dissolve and bring to a boil.
- Adding one at a time, drop a pretzel into the boiling water. Carefully flip it after 20 to 30 seconds and soak the other side for 20 to 30 seconds as well. If you let it soak longer, the pretzels will have a metallic taste to them. Return the soaked pretzel to the baking sheets and continue dipping the remaining ones.
- Gently brush the pretzels with an egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt; slash the dough with a sharp knife.
- Transfer to the preheated overn and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the heat and place on a wire rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Makes 4 large pretzels.
- Store them in an airtight container or a large re-sealable plastic bag.
