Nutmeg Free Soft Pretzels with Salt

Few things beat the satisfaction of pulling a tray of golden-brown, chewy pretzels straight from your own oven. The dough comes together with pantry staples — flour, yeast, butter, and salt — and a quick knead gives you that satisfying, springy texture you'd expect from a proper pretzel. The real magic happens in the baking soda bath, which gives each pretzel its signature dark, glossy crust and that unmistakable slightly tangy chew before it ever hits the oven. A generous brush of egg wash deepens the color even further, and a shower of coarse salt on top makes every bite taste like it came from a street cart in the best possible way. The entire ingredient list is straightforward and free of any hidden spice blends or pre-mixed seasonings, so you stay in complete control of what goes into the dough. These are best eaten warm, ideally with a side of mustard or a simple cheese dip, though honestly they disappear fast enough that the dipping sauce is almost optional.
