Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture while stirring to form a shaggy dough.
  3. Knead the shaggy dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 1 hour.
  4. After rising, punch down the dough, sprinkle with rosemary and grated Parmesan, knead until evenly distributed.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, shape each into a rope, and twist into a pretzel shape.
  7. Boil each pretzel in the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds on each side.
  8. Brush boiled pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let pretzels cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
