How to cook deliciously - Pretzel Sticks Recipe

1. Stage

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, butter, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

2. Stage

Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

3. Stage

In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water and the baking soda to a boil. Punch dough down; divide into 32 portions. Roll each into a 5-in. log. Add to boiling water, a few at a time; cook 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.

4. Stage

Place on greased baking sheets. Lightly beat egg yolk and cold water; brush over pretzels. If desired, sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 425° until golden brown, 9-11 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm with cheese sauce if desired.
