Steps:
- Combine the warm 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, 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 sides 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 350 degrees F.
- Line 4 half sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with the vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Place enough water into a large roasting pan to come 1/3 of the way up the sides of the pan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 1-ounce portions, approximately 36 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough into a 14 to15-inch long stick and place on the sheet pans, 1/4-inch apart. Cover the dough not being used with a slightly damp towel to help prevent drying out.
- Gently place 6 to 8 pretzels at a time into the water for 30 seconds. Remove the pretzels back to the sheet pan, brush with the beaten egg yolk and water mixture and sprinkle with the pretzel salt. Bake until golden brown in color and hard, approximately 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Mix water and sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved; add yeast. Let mixture stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour, butter, and salt together in a bowl until well mixed; add yeast mixture and stir with a fork until dough starts to cling. Turn dough onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth.
- Cut dough into 15 equal pieces and roll each piece between your hands into rope shapes at least the thickness of a pencil. Twist dough into desired shapes and arrange on a baking sheet; brush with egg and sprinkle coarse salt over each.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pretzels are browned and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.

Tips:
- Use bread flour for a chewier pretzel. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a more glutenous dough.
- Dissolve the baking soda in water before adding it to the dough. This will help to evenly distribute the baking soda and prevent it from clumping.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make it easier to shape.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to ferment the dough and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will make the pretzels light and airy.
- Shape the pretzels into desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Before baking, dip the pretzels in a baking soda solution. This will help to give the pretzels their characteristic brown color and shiny crust.
- Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
- Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack before serving.
Conclusion:
Hard pretzels are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make perfect hard pretzels every time.
