Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and water. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Mix in brown sugar, melted butter, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add bread flour until dough forms; knead until smooth.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled.
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Punch down dough and divide into six pieces; roll into ropes and shape into pretzels.
In a pot, bring warm water to boil; add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds using a slotted spoon. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for about 8 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter before serving.
