    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Using the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, salt, sugar.  Then sprinkle the yeast on the top and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Add the flour and butter to the bowl and mix it all with the dough hook on the slowest speed to combine the ingredients<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Crank the mixer up to a medium speed and kneed the dough until it pulls away from the side of the bowl.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Coat a large bowl with oil or non-stick spray and put the dough in it and roll it to coat it with oil.  Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area.  Allow the dough to double in size (about an hour)<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Pre-heat the oven to 450 F.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Using a large saucepan, heat the water to a boil.  Then stir in the baking soda.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • While the water is heating up, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8-12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 2 feet long. Twist the ropes into a pretzel shape and put them onto parchment paper.
      <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Put the pretzels into the boiling one at a time for 30 seconds and transfer them to a parchment sheet covered cookie sheet.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and brush the top of each pretzel with the egg mixture. Then sprinkle coarse salt over them.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Bake the Pretzels in a 450 F oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Transfer to a cooling rack.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Enjoy with mustard and beer!<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
