Title: Big Soft Pretzels
Categories: Breadmaker, Mixes, Kids!, Breads, Snacks
Yield: 12 Pretzels

1 tb Dry yeast
5 c Bread mix; up to 6 c
1 1/2 c Water; lukewarm
2 Eggs; beaten

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1 Egg; beaten
2 tb Coarse salt
1/2 c Butter; melted

Lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. In a large bowl, dissolve
yeast in lukewarm water. Blend in 2 eggs and butter. Add 5 cups
bread mix. Stir well. Add additional bread mix to make a soft, but
not too sticky dough. Knead about 5 minutes until dough is smooth.
Roll pieces of dough into ropes about 1/2" in diameter and 18 to
24" long. Form into pretzel shapes.

Pretzel Sticks:

Cut dough into 5 to 6" lengths. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Preheat oven to 425?F.

Brush tops of pretzels with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse
salt. Bake immediately 12 to 15 minutes, until brown and crisp.

Chewier Pretzel:

Drop pretzel-shaped dough into a pan of boiling water. When dough
floats to the top of the water, remove it. Preheat oven to 400?F.
Brush with egg and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake about 30 minutes.

All of these recipes I have posted using my bread mix can be
adjusted to use with the bread machine, some using the dough
setting. I have had excellent results. Will try to post more over
the weekend as I get time. Also have a lot of other "mix" recipes
if anyone is interested.
