Soft Baked Pretzels

List of Ingredients




3 ½ C Flour
4 T Brown Sugar
2 t Salt
1 t Yeast,dissolved in the water
1 C Water (120°) fairly warm but not hot.
2 t Baking Soda mixed with 1 Cup hot Water
1 T Sugar
1 Egg beaten with 1 t Water


Recipe



Mix water, brown sugar and salt in a Food processor, or a large mixing bowl.
Add flour and mix until dough is smooth. Add more flour if sticky.
(If Possible let the dough sit overnight in a plastic container in the fridge.)
Now divide the dough into 6 or 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, very thin, a little bigger than a pencil.
Shape into an upside down U shape on your table. Bring the ends together and twist them.
Flatten the ends and bring to the top of the pretzel and press in the dough to secure making it look like a pretzel.
Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Now let the pretzels raise for a 45 minutes or till about double in size.
Dip in the water-soda solution, and put back on the tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with toppings like coarse salt, garlic and parmesan cheese, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds .
Bake @ 450* degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.
Yield: 6 large or 12 small
