Soft Pretzels

Ingredients

• 1 tsp Yeast
• 1 cup Warm water(100 to 110 °F)
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 piece(s) Egg
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 cup Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 °F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
2. In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water (if water is too hot, it will kill the yeast). Stir until well blended.
3. Combine white and wheat flour in a separate bowl.
4. Stir in sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2-1/2 to 3 cups flour to make a soft, sticky dough. Turn dough onto well-floured surface.
5. To knead, fold dough in half and push dough flat with heels of hands. Turn dough 1/4 turn. Repeat for 5 to 7 minutes. If needed, add more flour until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough should not stick to hands or counter.
6. Cut dough into 12 even pieces (about golf-ball sized).
