Bread Pretzel

Ingredients:
2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 egg yolk beaten
Coarse salt

Directions:
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Stir in the flour and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk.

Punch down and form into 12 small balls. Roll each out into a sausage shape, then form into pretzel shape. If desired, brush with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse salt. Allow to rise until not quite doubled. Bake at 475 degrees F for about 10 minutes.

Makes 12 pretzels.
