Let stand 5 minutes while you bring a deep saucepan full of water to a boil. (For every cup of water add 2 tablespoons of baking soda.) Divide dough evenly into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and twist into pretzel shapes. Drop each pretzel into boiling water and boil for 10 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon. Arrange pretzels on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 450° about 8 minutes or until brown. Yield: 1 dozen pretzels. |
