1 tsp. dry yeast
3/4 c. warm water
1 1/4 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 c. flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. kosher salt

In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt and flour. Stir until smooth. Turn dough onto floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Cut dough into 18 pieces. Roll each piece on floured surface into 9-inch rope. Shape each rope as desired. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush pretzels with egg. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes until golden.
