  Categories: Kids, Snacks
       Yield: 6 Servings
  
       2    (16 oz) loaves frozen whole
            -wheat bread dough, thawed
       1    Egg white, slightly beaten
       1 ts Water
            Coarse salt
  
   Thaw bread in the refrigerator overnight. From each loaf, shape 12
   1-1/2 inch balls. Roll each ball into a rope approximately 14 inches
   long. Shape into pretzels by forming a knot and looping ends through.
   Arrange pretzels one inch apart on well-greased baking sheet. Let
   stand for 20 minutes. Brush combined egg white and water on pretzels,
   then sprinkle with coarse salt. Place in a shallow pan containing one
   inch of boiling water on a lower rack in the oven. Bake pretzels on a
   cookie sheet on a rack above the water at 350 for 20 minutes or till
   golden brown. Makes two dozen pretzels.
   
   Variation 1: Pretzel Sticks can be made by beginning with balls
   rolled into 8-inch sticks. Try pretzel letters, which is something
   small children will enjoy helping you do.
   
   Variation 2: Roll sticks 4-6 inches long in mixture of melted butter,
   cinnamon and sugar before baking.
