  • 1 (1/4 oz) package active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 egg

Directions:

  2. Blend in the flour & knead the dough until smooth, about 7 or 8 minutes.
  3. Cover & let dough rise for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until double in bulk.
  4. Grease several cookie sheets, then punch dough down & cut it into 12 pieces.
  5. Slightly beat the egg & set aside.
  6. Roll each piece of dough into a thin rope about as round as your little finger, then twist each into pretzel shapes before placing them on a greased cookie sheet.
  7. Using a pastry brish, coat the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg & sprinkle with coarse salt, before allowing the pretzels to rise until almost double in bulk.
  8. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F & bake the pretzels for 10 to 15 minutes, or until browned.
  9. Best if eaten while stlil warm, but if allowed to cool, store in an airtight container.
