Ingredients:
1 batch pizza dough (see my recipes- use basic or whole grain)
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
kosher salt
1 egg yolk
1t water
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
2. Divide dough into 8 portions
3. Roll each piece of dough into (about) 18 inch lengths and fold into pretzel shape, pressing lightly to join.
4. Bring water and soda to a boil.
5. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease.
6. Drop pretzels in water one at a time for 30 seconds.
7. Remove to baking sheet, brush with yolk and water mixture, sprinkle with coarse salt and bake for 10 -15 minutes, or until golden brown and shiny.
8. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
9. **Flavour boost: Add to dough: 2 T fresh finely chopped rosemary, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan. Top pretzels with salt & garlic powder.
