Traditional german soft pretzel recipe. Perfect as a snack or served with a meal.
1 Tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 beaten egg
1 & 1/2 cup flour
Coarse salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Dissolve yeast in a bowl with the warm water. Add the honey and salt (not the course). Stir together. Slowly add flour and stir until well blended. Take your dough out of the bowl and knead. Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. With your hands, take each piece and roll out into a long rope. Form the shape of a pretzel and place on the cookie sheet. Repeat with each of the 7 remaining pieces. Then brush pretzels with the beaten egg and sprinkle the coarse salt onto the tops. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
