Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (100- 110°F)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or half whole wheat flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 Tbspwater
  • Poppy or sesame seeds
  • Seasoned or coarse (kosher) salt

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Place warm water in large warm bowl (heat it in the microwave or with hot water).
  3. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved.
  4. Add milk, oil, sugar, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour; blend well.
  5. Mix in additional flour to make soft dough. Knead on a lightly-floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  6. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease the top.
  7. Cover; let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  8. Punch dough down; divide into 24 pieces.
  9. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope.
  10. To make pretzels, curve the ends of each rope to make a circle; cross the ends at the top.
  11. Twist ends once and lay them down over the bottom of the circle.
  12. Place the pretzels on greased baking sheets.
  13. Cover and let rest in a warm, draft-free place for 5 to 10 minutes, until risen slightly.
  14. Brush the pretzels with the beaten egg mixture and sprinkle with the selected topping.
  15. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until golden.
  16. Cool on a wire rack.
  17. Serve them with German-style mustard.
