Soft Pretzels - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. flour
1 c. wheat flour
1 pkg. rapid yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. hot water
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. oil
1 egg
1 Tbsp. cool water
2 Tbsp. sesame seed
1/2 c. coarse salt
mustard (optional)

Preparation

Grease baking sheet and preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
Place cool water into small bowl and beat in egg.
Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix only 2 cups of the white flour, wheat flour, yeast and salt.
Add water, honey and oil (in this order).
Stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
Add enough of the set aside flour to make a soft dough.
Knead dough about 5 to 7 minutes.
Cut dough into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope.
Form pretzels and place on baking sheet.
Dough will contract a little, so enlarge holes with finger.
Brush each pretzel with your egg mixture.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
