Step 1 Knead a dough for the pretzels
To make this delicious snack, take a wide-mouthed large bowl and whisk dry yeast and 400 ml of warm water. Then add salt, brown sugar, melted butter to the dry yeast mixture and whisk again. Gradually add refined flour spoon by spoon into the mixture. After the flour is entirely exhausted, take a wooden spoon and mix the flour until you obtain a thick dough. Grease your hands with a little oil and knead the pretzel dough until it turns smooth. Keep it aside for a few minutes.

Step 2 Roll long dough ropes and shape them to form pretzels
At this stage, start preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. In the meanwhile, pull out a portion of the dough and make long ropes of about 20 to 22 inches long. Take the two ends of the ropes and bring them together to form a circle and twist the ends to make the shape of a pretzel. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough and keep the raw pretzels aside.
