4 1/2 C All-Purpose Flour
1 3/4 C Water
1 oz. Active Dry Yeast (4 1/4 oz. packets)
2 tsp Baking Soda
Kosher Salt

Rinse pretzels in water bath, and place evenly-spaced on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, brush with butter, and bake between 6-9 minutes (or until golden brown). While still hot, brush pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with additional kosher salt or brown sugar.
