These make up fast, and are a great snack! Try dipping them in chipotle mayo, or honey mustard. (recipe from The Amish Cook's Baking book)

How To Make soft pretzels

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 435 degrees F. and spray a baking sheet with non stick spray

Step 2

Mix and dissolve the yeast, sugar, and salt in the warm water. ( I let stand for a few minutes)
Step 3

Stir in the flour, until a ball forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth.
Step 4

Divide the one big ball, into six smaller balls. Roll between floured palms till you get a rope, or snake, then shape into a pretzel form, and place on baking sheet.
Step 5

Beat the egg, then brush the beaten egg onto the uncooked pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt, then bake until they are lightly golden. (aprox 10 minutes).
