Description
The perfect pretzel requires some nifty sleight-of-hand. Dough is twisted over here, tugged up over there. After it is baked, the knot, the dough, the whole thing disappears in a flurry of quick bites.

Things To Grab
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine water, sugar and kosher salt. Sprinkle the yeast on top of water mixture. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam.
- Add the flour and butter and knead with dough hook on mixer until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl, clean the bowl and then oil it well with vegetable oil.
- Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for approximately 50 to 55 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper and lightly brush with vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Mix beaten egg with water.
