Ingredients:  
¾ cup warm water (between 110° and 115°)
1 tsp. granulated sugar
½ pkg. active dry yeast
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. kosher salt
Cooking spray
⅓ cups baking soda
1 large egg, beaten
Pretzel salt
Directions:
Directions:
Whisk water and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over top and let sit (5 minutes). Add flour and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Scrape yeast mixture into flour mixture and process for 30 seconds. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and scrape the dough into prepared bowl. Cover with plastic and let sit until doubled in size (30 minutes). Preheat oven to 450°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, divide risen dough into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, keeping the other pieces covered with plastic, roll dough into a 14-inch rope. Fold dough into a horseshoe shape. Twist ends twice and fold over top, pressing each end into the top, creating a traditional pretzel shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda and return to a boil. Add one pretzel to boiling water and cook, flipping after 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon scoop the pretzel back onto the baking sheet. Repeat. Brush tops of each pretzel with egg and sprinkle with pretzel salt. Bake until deep golden, about 12 minutes.
