Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup water
3 cups flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dry yeast
10 cups water
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
coarse salt -- to taste
egg white -- optional

Place water, flour, oil, sugar and yeast in bread machine. Set on dough setting.

When dough has risen, divide into 8 portions and roll into a 12" rope. Form into pretzel shape. Set on an oiled surface, cover with a damp towel, and let raise 15-20 minutes.

Bring water and baking soda to simmering. Simmer pretzels about 30 seconds, turning once. Place on oiled cookie sheets. Brush with egg white (optional, but the salt sticks better) and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes until golden.
