Here’s a treat that looks like it came from the salty sea.
Materials
- 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
Steps
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.
- Slowly stir in the flour a little at a time until a dough forms. Knead the dough until it is elastic (about two minutes).
Form Dough Into Sea StarBreak 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 EggLightly beat the egg in a bowl. Brush the beaten egg over the pretzels using a pastry brush. Sprinkle each pretzel with coarsely ground salt.
Bake PretzelsBake pretzels at 400° F for 25 minutes.
