   • In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of water, 3 3/4 tablespoons of sugar, 3 teaspoons of salt, and gradually add in the 6 cups of flour. Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

2. Let the Dough Rise:

   • Grease a bowl lightly with oil or cooking spray, place the kneaded dough in it, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.

3. Shape the Pretzels:

   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into portions. Roll each portion into ropes about 18 inches long, and then twist them into pretzel shapes.

4. Prepare the Boiling Solution:

   • In a large pot, bring 12-15 cups of water to a boil and add in 4 teaspoons of baking soda.

5. Boil the Pretzels:

   • Carefully drop 3 pretzels into the boiling water and let them boil for about 1 minute or until they float to the surface.

6. Drain and Bake:

   • Remove the boiled pretzels from the water using a slotted spoon, let them drain briefly, and then place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Salt and Bake:

   • Sprinkle the pretzels with coarse or pretzel salt while they’re still moist from boiling. Then, bake them in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for about 12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

8. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Let the pretzels cool slightly before serving. These soft and savory treats are perfect for snacking, dipping into mustard, or enjoying on their own. Share with friends and family for a delightful homemade treat!
