Ingredients:

2 t. sugar
⅓ c. milk
3 T. salad oil

Directions:
In large mixing bowl dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water. Stir in milk and oil. Add about 3 cups flour and the salt; beat until a smooth batter forms. Place remaining flour on counter top or bread board. Make a large well in center of the flour. Turn batter into the well; knead. When all the flour is kneaded into a dough, knead 8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let raise until doubled in size-about 1 hour. Cut dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece between palms to make ropes about 14 inches long. Form each rope into a pretzel. Place pretzels on greased baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Brush with beaten egg. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let raise until doubled in size- about 20 to 30 minutes. Add a little milk to remainder of beaten egg, if needed; brush pretzels with the beaten egg. Sprinkle kosher salt. Bake at 425º for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350º and bake 10 to 12 minutes longer, until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire rack to cool. Makes 16 pretzels.
