Comments:
A great snack, and easy to make. Everyone will love these soft pretzels, and if you have kids, they can help in rolling and twisting the pretzel dough.

Ingredients:
1 pkg. dry yeast (not quick-rising)
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
Coarse salt

Instructions:
SOFT PRETZELS:
Instructions:
Dissolve yeast in water, add salt and sugar. Blend in all the flour and knead until smooth. When smooth, cut dough into small pieces and roll into ropes. Twist ropes into conventional pretzel shapes and place on a paper-lined cookie sheet. Brush pretzels with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until brown. These do not keep long.

FOR HARD PRETZELS:
Do everything as above, but decrease water to 1-1/4 cups. and add 1/4 cup of melted butter. Make pretzels smaller, and bake until browned. These pretzels will stay good for months in a tight container.

Makes approximately 10-12 soft pretzels.

Super Easy to make! I added 3 tsp. baking powder and when they were done baking, I brushed them with melted butter. They're not "Auntie Anne's", but they're still good. Rated 3 for taste, but 4 overall because they're so easy, fun to make and extra tasty while still warm.
