I used washing soda (baked baking soda), next time I will try food grade lye and see what the color difference is between the baking soda, washing soda and lye.

Just getting started on my baking journey, and I never even thought of making pretzels! Gonna have to give it a go seeing these beauties.

You’re making pretzels, right?
Just wanted to make sure I’m understanding that you’re not trying to make bagels with lye.

4% solution of lye. 40 grams of lye in plastic container, top up to 1000 grams of filtered or distilled water.
