  3. Cover 3 baking sheets with parchment paper, silicon mats or grease them and sprinkle with flour.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface. Divide into 3 parts. between hands and work surface, roll out each part of dough to make strands about 40 inches long. Place on the prepared baking sheets in the form of a pretzel. Cover with a towel and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  6. Mix the egg and milk to make a glaze. Brush pretzels all over with the glaze and sprinkle with the sugar.
