Categories: Appetizer, German
  Servings: 36 Pretzels

      2 pk Active dry yeast
      2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/4 c  Unsalted butter
      1    Egg
      2 ts Salt
      7 c  Flour
      1    Egg yolk
      1 tb Water
      1 tb Kosher salt
    1/4 c  Mustard

Combine yeast, water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add
butter, egg, salt, and 3 cups flour. Mix until smooth. Continue to
mix in flour until mixture stiffens. Roll into a ball or log. Wrap in
plastic and chill for 4 to 24 hours. Divide dough into 36 portions.
Roll each piece into an 18" rope. Form into a pretzel shape, pressing
ends to seal. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with
remaining dough. Combine yolk and water. Mix well. Brush over
pretzels. Cover and allow to rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake @ 400°F for
10-15 minutes. Dip in salt as desired. Serve warm, with mustard to
the side.
