Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons yeast
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup lukewarm whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • ½ cup cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and light brown sugar. Let sit for five minutes until foamy.
  2. In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Add the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, and room temperature butter; stir until a soft dough forms.

  4. Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, and shape into pretzels.
  5. Boil water with baking soda in a large pot; bath each pretzel for 30 seconds before placing on parchment-lined sheets.
