I made some sourdough pretzels for the first time ever and experimented with different browning techniques

To make traditional pretzels you need to dip them in food grade lye before baking to give them their dark brown skin, but I can't find any available. Consequently, I looked for alternatives and learned there are 2 methods involving baking soda you can use to imitate lye. The 2 methods are:1) Boil baking soda and water and dip the pretzels in.2) Bake baking soda in the oven at 250-300 F for one hour.
