1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen white bread dough, thawed
1 egg white, beaten with 1 tsp. water
About 3 tbsp. coarse
Salt or caraway seeds

Cover dough; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled. Divide in 12 equal pieces. With lightly floured hands roll each in a 16 inch rope. Form into pretzel shape.

In large skillet bring 2 inches of water to boil. Slip pretzels, a few at a time, into gently boiling water. Cook until pretzels rise to surface about 45 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Brush lightly with egg white mixture. Sprinkle with salt or caraway seeds. Do not let pretzels rise. Bake immediately in preheated 400 degree oven 15-20 minutes until browned. Makes 12.
