- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
20-24 pretzels
ingredients
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 cups flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons coarse salt
directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
- Add salt and sugar.
- Gradually blend in flour.
- Lightly coat counter or work area with flour and knead until smooth.
- Cut dough into small pieces.
- Roll into desired shapes and place on greased pan(s).
- I like to make a "snake" about 1/2" thick and 6" long, and form a cross over pretzel. Letters are fun as well as any shape that keeps the dough 1/2" to 3/4" thick.
- Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until starting to turn light brown.

Just a tip, before rolling out pretzels, weigh them out to about 1 ounce each to make the 20 pretzels. I made 10 big ones (about 2 ounces each). Came out pretty good, but didn't really taste good the next day. I made some salt ones, some with garlic powder and parm cheese and some cinnamon sugar ones. All were awesome fresh out of the oven!
