Pretzels

Pretzels


INGREDIENTS:

• 1 packet dry yeast
• 1 ½ cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 cups flour
• Coarse salt
• Egg white

UTENSILS:

• Large & small bowls
• Wooden spoon
• Fork

HOW TO:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  
• Empty yeast packet into a large bowl and add warm water. Stir until yeast dissolves (about 3 minutes).
  
• Add sugar and salt.
  
• Stir in flour, one cup at a time (you may need only 4 or 4 ½ cups of the flour). Add and stir until the mixture resembles soft pizza dough.
  
• Coat your hands with flour to keep the dough from sticking to them. Divide the dough into about 20 golf-ball-sized pieces. Roll each ball into a 10” snake and twist into the shape you want.
  
• In the small bowl, beat egg white with a fork until foamy. Use your fingers to coat the top of each pretzel with egg white.
  
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown.
  
• Sprinkle coarse salt on top of each pretzel.
