I found this recipe in The United States Cookbook.
Ingredients
- 2 packages active dry yeast shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups warm water shopping list
- 2 tablespoons sugar shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 cups whole wheat flour shopping list
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 teaspoon olive oil shopping list
- 1 large egg, beaten shopping list
- sesame seeds shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 425o F.
- Stir the yeast and warm water together in the bowl with the wooden spoon.Make sure the water is not too hot!
- Add the sugar and salt and mix well.
- Add the flours to the bowl in small amounts and stir well after each addition.Mix with the wooden spoon, stirring constantly until the mixture forms into a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured pastry board or very clean countertop and knead the dough for 5 minutes.To knead, press the dough out with your hands, then fold it in half.Give the dough a quarter turn after each fold and start again.
- Using the pastry brush, brush the medium bowl with olive oil.Place the dough into the bowl and cover with the kitchen towel.Place in a draft-free spot, such as your oven or microwave (don't turn it on!) and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes.
- Cutoff pieces of dough and roll into ropes about 12 inches long.Shape each rope into the traditional pretzel shape and place on ungreased cookie sheets.Leave about 2 inches of space around each pretzel.
- Brush each pretzel with egg and then sprinkle sesame seeds.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden in color.
