Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 and grease 2 large baking sheets
- In large bowl sprinkle yeast over warm water and stir with rubber spatula until well blended
- Gradually stir in sugar, salt and enough flour to form soft, sticky dough.
- Turn dough onto well floured board and knead 5 - 7 minutes adding more flour if needed until dough is smooth and elastic. Surface of dough will appear blistered but should not stick to the board.
- Cut dough in half and then each half into six equal sized pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rope until about 15 inches long.
- Loop to form pretzel shape and place on baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Make sure that loops are open so that pretzels won't close when rising during baking.
- In small bowl, mix together egg and water.
- Brush egg mixture on pretzels and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake 15 - 20 minutes until golden brown.
