  • 1 egg
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely ground salt
  • ¾ teaspoon regular salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sugar
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 1 package active dry yeast
Make Dough
  • Stir the sugar and regular salt in the water. Then gently mix in the yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for five minutes until the yeast begins to foam.

Form Dough Into Sea Star

Break off a piece of the dough and roll it into a long rope. Cut the rope into 2-3” long pieces. Put five pieces together to make a sea-star shape. Place the pretzels on a cookie sheet.

Brush Pretzels With Egg

Lightly beat the egg in a bowl. Brush the beaten egg over the pretzels using a pastry brush. Sprinkle each pretzel with coarsely ground salt.
