Place the dough into a bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size (approx. 30 minutes).

Step 3
Preheat oven to 200C.

Step 4
Divide dough into 10 equal pieces and roll each onto a non-stick surface into a rope shape (60 cm) which is thinner at the ends. To form pretzels take both ends, twist them 2 times and flip them over onto the thicker part of the rope.

Step 5
Bring water with baking soda to boil in a pot ( 20 cm). One at a time, place pretzels onto a skimmer and dunk them into the boiling salt solution for 30 - 60 seconds, then place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 15 minutes. Cool for several minutes before serving them warm or cold.
