Preparation Steps
1
Begin by preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
2
Add the sugar to the warm water, then sprinkle in the yeast. Stir and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes foamy.
3
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour, then add the olive oil. Mix thoroughly, then knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
4
Shape the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let it rest for 1 hour to rise.
5
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope, then twist them into pretzel shapes.
6
Gently toast the sunflower seeds in a skillet to enhance their flavor.
7
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil, then add the baking soda. Blanch the pretzels in this water for 1-2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
8
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then sprinkle them with the toasted sunflower seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
9
Let the pretzels cool slightly, then serve and enjoy!
