  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes, for a chewy pretzel.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it no longer sticks to your hands.
  • Shape the dough into pretzels before boiling; this will help them hold their shape during baking.
  • Boil the pretzels in a baking soda solution for a few seconds; this will give them their characteristic chewy texture and golden brown color.
