If you're a lover of pretzels, celebrate National Soft Pretzel Month in April as well as today, April 26 — which marks National Pretzel Day in America.

And while you may think making baked pretzels from scratch is difficult, it’s apparently quite simple. 

"In honor of National Soft Pretzel Month, we created a recipe that delivered a traditional soft pretzel with a modern twist," said Scott King, executive director of food and beverage and culinary at Shore Lodge, a hotel resort that's based in McCall, Idaho.

Instructions

1. Preheat your convection oven to 360° F.

2. Combine warm water, brown sugar, yeast and melted butter in a mixer bowl.

3. Mix with a dough hook until combined and let sit until the yeast is active and bubbly. 

4. Once the yeast is bubbly, add flour and mix. Add in kosher salt and mix at low until thoroughly combined. Increase speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides. If needed, add more flour slowly.

5. When the dough is smooth, place it in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic and let the dough rise until it's doubled in size.

6. Add water to a large pot and bring to a boil.

7. Once doubled, weigh the dough into 3-ounce pieces and mold to your desired shape. 

8. Let dough rest for another 10-15 minutes.

11. Flip pretzels right side up on another piece of parchment paper thoroughly greased or sprayed with cooking spray and lightly coat with egg wash. If desired, cut slits and sprinkle with kosher or sea salt.  

12. Bake at 360° F for 10-15 minutes, rotating halfway through until you get your desired color. Serve with the accouterments of your choice and enjoy.
