1. Warm the milk and butter in the microwave until the butter is just melted, about 90 seconds; do not boil. (Alternatively, warm the butter and milk in a small saucepan.) Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved; set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 2-1/2 cups of the flour with the yeast and salt. Mix on low speed until well combined, about 1 minute. With the mixer on low, gradually add the warm milk mixture to the bowl. When the dough forms a cohesive mass, switch to the dough hook. Knead, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth but still slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, the dough can be mixed and kneaded by hand.) Shape the dough into a ball, place in a clean, lightly greased bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
4. In a 2-qt baking dish, combine the baking soda with 2-1/4 cups warm water. Stir until the baking soda is dissolved; set aside. (Dipping the pretzel dough in a baking soda solution gives the pretzels a nice golden brown crust.)

1. Whisk the yeast into warm water. Allow to sit for 1 minute. Whisk in salt, brown sugar, and melted butter. Slowly add 3 cups of flour, 1 cup at a time. Mix with a wooden spoon (or dough hook attached to stand mixer) until dough is thick. Add 3/4 cup more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. If it is still sticky, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup more, as needed. Poke the dough with your finger – if it bounces back, it is ready to knead.
2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for 3 minutes and shape into a ball. Cover lightly with a towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes. (Meanwhile, I like to get the water + baking soda boiling as instructed in step 6.)
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Silicone baking mats are highly recommended over parchment paper. If using parchment paper, lightly spray with nonstick spray or grease with butter. Set aside.
4. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 1/3 cup sections.

1. Place warm water in a mixer bowl and sprinkle some yeast over it. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. This step is for “proofing” the yeast; if it doesn’t dissolve and become slightly foamy, then the yeast is dead. In this case, repeat with new yeast.
2. Add sugar, salt, melted butter, and 2 ¾ cups of flour to the water-yeast mixture and stir until combined. Fit your mixer with the dough hook attachment and mix on a low speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If you don’t have a mixer, mix by hand or use a wooden spoon. If the dough is still wet at this point, add more flour – 2 tablespoons at a time, up to 3 cups total. Keep kneading on low speed in the mixer for 5 minutes, or by hand on a floured surface for 7-8 minutes. The dough should be soft, smooth, and just slightly sticky.
3. Shape the dough into a ball. Lift it and spray the bowl with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent the dough from drying out. Turn the dough over to coat both sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place* for about 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
4. When it’s finished rising, gently punch to remove air. Divide into 8 equal pieces.
