Pretzel Time

One of our fun projects this week was making pretzels. Here is an easy recipe.

Prep:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with foil & spray with vegetable oil.

1. Sprinkle a package of yeast onto 3/4 cup of warm water. Add a tablespoon of sugar & stir. Let stand until mixture foams.
2. Put 2 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp salt into a bowl. Add the yeast mixture and stir.
3. Sprinkle flour on the counter and knead the dough until it's smooth.
4. Roll pieces of dough into ropes and make fun shapes.
5. Beat an egg with a fork.
6. Brush pretels with the egg & sprinkle with coarse salt.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown. Enjoy!
