Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Master Sweet Dough
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 large egg white
6 tablespoons pearl sugar
Ingredient info: Pearl sugar, a coarse sugar used for decorating baked goods, is available at specialty foods stores and kingarthurflour.com.

Steps:

  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Punch down dough; divide into 12 equal pieces.
  • Working with 1 piece at a time and keeping remaining dough covered with a kitchen towel, roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 17"- long rope. Form rope into a U shape. Lift top of left end; fold over or under opposite side; press together gently about two-thirds down from the top of right side. Lift right end up, fold over, and press in or tuck under, forming a pretzel shape. Repeat with remaining dough. Divide pretzels between sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Loosely cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until slightly puffed but not doubled in size, 30-45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Beat egg white and 2 teaspoons warm water in a small bowl. Brush each pretzel all over with egg wash, then sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon pearl sugar.
  • Bake for 10 minutes; rotate baking sheets and continue baking until pretzels are golden, 6-8 minutes longer. Let pretzels cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

These pretzels are way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pretzels turned out really hard. I think I might have overcooked them.

I've never made pretzels before, but these were surprisingly easy to make. I'm definitely going to make them again.

These pretzels are a great way to use up leftover dough. I had some extra dough from making bread and these were the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet pretzels, but these were really good. The glaze is not too sweet and the pretzels are perfectly crispy.

These pretzels are so good! The dough is soft and chewy, and the glaze is perfectly sweet.
