Bake Potato Chip Wrapped Pretzels Delightfully

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add melted butter along with the yeast mixture.
3. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined into a shaggy dough.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for approximately 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) while waiting for the dough to rise.
7. Once risen, punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Divide it into 12 equal pieces.
8. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 12 inches) thickening slightly in the middle to form traditional pretzel shapes by twisting them into loops.
9. In a large pot, bring water to boil then carefully stir in baking soda—this will create steam!
10. Working in batches of three or four at a time, carefully drop each shaped pretzel into boiling water for about 30 seconds before transferring them back on parchment-lined baking sheets using slotted spatula.
11. Crush potato chips finely using your hands or rolling pin inside zip-lock bags , spread evenly on plates .
12. Immediately after removing from bath sprinkle tops of each pretzel generously with crushed potato chips ensuring they adhere well .
