Shaping

![4D0FEA4A-556B-4D95-84AC-F9071389A7A0.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FA9/U3T8/KDA8NWS1/FA9U3T8KDA8NWS1.jpg&filename=4D0FEA4A-556B-4D95-84AC-F9071389A7A0.jpeg)
![30922D50-F309-4F77-9863-82AD5BD4D693.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F5U/Y6N3/KDA8NWS4/F5UY6N3KDA8NWS4.jpg&filename=30922D50-F309-4F77-9863-82AD5BD4D693.jpeg)
Roll the dough into a thin rope (you can make it any size you would like just not to thin) make a rabbits head and twist the ends down to make a pretzel.
Baking Sheet
![7AC67D25-E559-45E8-8C10-938DCCC0CD3D.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FC8/DIC7/KDA8NX8E/FC8DIC7KDA8NX8E.jpg&filename=7AC67D25-E559-45E8-8C10-938DCCC0CD3D.jpeg)
Put your pretzel on the baking sheet.
Beaten Egg
![73EAD191-9711-4AA2-A1AC-14719B5126BC.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FN9/7HCU/KDA8NXIO/FN97HCUKDA8NXIO.jpg&filename=73EAD191-9711-4AA2-A1AC-14719B5126BC.jpeg)
Dip your pastry brush in the beaten egg and pretty much paint the pretzels with it. Next sprinkle coarse salt over the pretzel.
Baking Them

Put them in the oven at 450 Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
Your Done!
