    List of Ingredients




    Auntie Ann's Pretzels

    1 1/2 cup warm water
    1 1/8 tsp. active yeast (1 1/2 pkg)
    2 Tbs. brown sugar
    1 1/8 tsp. salt
    1 cup bread flour
    3 cups regular flour

    2 cups warm water
    2 Tbs. baking soda

    To taste coarse salt
    2-4 Tbs. butter (melted)

    Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add
    sugar, salt, and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth
    and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.

    While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm
    water and 2 Tbs. baking soda. Be certain to stir often.

    After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope
    (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel into soda solution
    and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzel to rise again. Bake in a
    450 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted
    butter and enjoy!

    Toppings:

    After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt.
    Or for Auntie Anne's famous cinnamon sugar, try melting a stick of butter
    in a shallow bowl( big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another
    bowl, make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. dip the pretzel into the
    butter, coating both sides generously. then dip again into the cinnamon
    mixture.
