In a bowl, mix the water, yeast, and sugar, then let it sit for 15 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and knead it in a stand mixer until a dough ball forms.
Cover the dough and allow it to rise until it has doubled in size.
In a pot, prepare water with ¼ cup of baking soda for boiling the pretzels.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into four equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 24 inches long, twist it twice, and shape it into a pretzel.
Boil each pretzel for approximately 15 seconds on each side, then drain them well.
Arrange the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with an egg wash.
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
For cinnamon-sugar pretzels, brush them with melted butter and dip them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
For sea-salt pretzels, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
