Now let the pretzels raise for 30 minutes or till about double in size. Brush with the water-soda solution.

For a chewier crust put 2 Tbl. baking soda mixed with 4 Cups boiling water drop the pretzel in there for about the count of 10 and then lift out with a strainer or pancake turner.

Brush the pretzels with the egg and the water that was whipped up in a small bowl. ( a cereal bowl is perfect)
This gives the pretzel a nice shinny glaze.

Sprinkle with toppings like
coarse salt (how to make coarse salt),
garlic and parmesan cheese,
Cinnamon sugar,
sesame seeds.

Bake in a hot oven 400 to 450 degrees (225 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until well browned.

You can make some coarse salt by putting rock salt in a coffee grinder and straining.     back
