Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas (thawed)
- 2 tbsp baking soda (for the bath)
- Coarse sea salt for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Gradually add flour and salt, stirring to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- Cook peas in boiling water for 2 minutes if using fresh; mash with salt and pepper once cooked.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Punch down the risen dough, divide it into equal pieces, roll each into ropes, fill with mashed peas, and twist into pretzel shapes.
- Prepare a baking soda bath by dissolving baking soda in boiling water; dip each pretzel briefly before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown; serve warm with mustard or cheese dip.
