Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
2
Add the sugar to the warm water, then sprinkle in the dry yeast. Stir and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes frothy.
3
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour, then add the olive oil. Mix thoroughly, then knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4
Shape the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a work surface and divide it into 8-10 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then twist them into pretzel shapes.
6
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then add baking soda. Blanch the pretzels in this water for 1-2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
7
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
8
Let the pretzels cool slightly, then serve. Enjoy!
