Mix warm water and brown sugar in a bowl until dissolved.

Sprinkle dry yeast over the water and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour and vegetable oil, then add the yeast mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add baking soda.

Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape each into a pretzel.

Boil each pretzel in the baking soda water for 30 seconds, then remove and drain.

Place boiled pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.

Let cool slightly before serving.
