2 1/2 ts Yeast
4 c Flour
2/3 ts Salt

Recipe



Add first 6 ingredients into the bread machine in this order.
(Not 'bath' ingredients!) Set on manual.
FORMING: Cut dough into short strips, roll into ropes and shape
into pretzels. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
'BATH': In a cast iron or OTHER NONALUMINUM pan, bring
almost to a boil 4 cups of water and 5 teaspoons of baking soda.
Gently place (by hand or using slotted spoon) the pretzels into
the water for approximately 15 seconds on each side turning
once. Do NOT let water come to a boil. Remove pretzels and
place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt (kosher).
Bake at 475 for 12 minutes.

NOTE: In my oven it took only about 10 minutes so watch carefully. Do
NOT make the strips too fat; they really puff up. If you are on a
salt-free diet use sesame, poppy, garlic; whatever you like on the
outside...the WHOLE family, both upstairs and downstairs loved them
and the DAK did all the hard work.
* If you use a machine that needs the water first add ingredients in
reverse order.
