Classic Soft Pretzels

Hi lately I’ve been getting into baking and cooking and then I thought of pretzels and just thought, I’ll make that.
Hope you like them!
Supplies
1: 4 1/2 cups flour
2: 1 1/2 cups warm water

4: 1 tablespoon salt
5: 2 tablespoons oil

7: 1 beaten egg
8: Coarse salt
9: Pastry brush
10: Baking sheet
11: Large bowl
12: Plastic wrap

Water

Put your water into your large bowl.
Yeast, Sugar, Salt


Add your yeast, sugar, and salt (non-coarse) and let sit for 5 minutes. Than stir.
Flour

Add your flour.
Oil

Add in your oil, mine looks weird for whatever reason but yours shouldn’t
Stirring, Kneading

Knead and stir until a nice tough dough.
Outside

Set outside or in a warm area for 55-60 minutes.
After the Hour

Cut your dough into 12-13 equal pieces.
Shaping



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

Put your pretzel on the baking sheet.
Beaten Egg

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.
