Baked Pretzels
1/2 pkg. or 1/4 tsp. dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp. Sugar
2 c. flour
Coarse salt
3/4 c. warm water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 beaten egg with 1 teaspoon water
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt. Blend in flour with fork on floured
board. Knead dough until smooth. Pull off pieces of dough about size of golf
balls. Roll into 14 inch ropes and twist into pretzel shapes (alphabet shapes
are fun for young children.) Brush with beaten egg and water; sprinkle with
salt. Bake on greased cookie sheets at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
