1-1/2 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
Coarse salt

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the sugar, salt and
enough flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface;
knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Pinch off about 2
tablespoons of dough for each pretzel. Shape into traditional pretzel
twists or letters or animals as desired. Place on greased baking
