Add yeast, and let rest 5 minutes until yeast starts to foam. Add flour and 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Remove the dough and use the remaining oil to cover the bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour. Cut dough into 8 pieces and roll them out into thin ropes, twisting the two ends to form a pretzel shape. Add baking soda to a large pot of water, and bring to a rolling boil.
Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side. Transfer pretzels to a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Edd Kimber demonstrates how to make perfect pretzels with a chewy crust and soft, fluffy interior. Put the flour, yeast, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl and mix together to combine.
In a large jug, mix together 300ml lukewarm water and the butter. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the water, mixing together to form a rough dough. Tip out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10-15 mins or until smooth and elastic. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with oiled cling film and set aside until doubled in size, about 1hr.
Once risen, knock out the air bubbles in the dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Using your hands, roll each piece into a long rope about 60cm long. To form into pretzels, lay the rope in a U-shape with the curve pointing towards you. Take the two ends and cross them over. Take the ends, lift them backwards and press them into the curve of the U-shape.
Carefully place the pretzels on a baking tray lined with parchment and lightly greased with oil. Cover lightly with oiled cling film. Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water, bring to the boil, add the baked bicarbonate of soda, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. One at a time, carefully lift the pretzels into the pan and cook for 20 secs per side. Use the spoon to gently lift the pretzels from the pan and return them to the baking tray. Once they have all been cooked in the water, lightly brush with the egg and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins or until a rich, dark brown.
