2packagesinstant yeast
2tspssalt
2cupswarm milk
4tbspsmelted butter
6tbspsbrown sugar
4 1/2cupsall-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
Egg+Water Mixture:
1egg
1/2cupwarm water
Various Toppings:

Instructions
Make the dough:
In a medium bowl, stir the yeast, salt, milk, butter and brown sugar.
Mix in the flour until a dough is forming.
Once the dough is done, knead for 10 to 15 minutes.
Let the dough sit:
After kneading the dough, transfer the dough back to the bowl and drizzle with a bit olive oil so it doesn't stick to the bowl.
Then, place a small towel, a cloth or some plastic wrap.
Now, put the dough aside and put on a timer on for 1 hour.
Creating the dough into a pretzel:
After 1 hour of the dough rising, punch it down and divide carefully into 12 - 16 pieces.
Then, you roll your 12 - 16 pieces into really long ropes (the longer/skinnier the bigger and harder the pretzels will be) .
Then make the ropes into a pretzel shape and dip into the egg and water mixture.
Place on a baking sheet.
Bake The Pretzels:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit.
Sprinkle some cardamom and sugar or cinnamon sugar or some salt.
Once preheated, put in the oven and bake for 6 - 12 minutes or until the surface of the pretzels have the color of golden-brown.
Once done baking, you can dip into some sort of sauce or eat as a sandwich or just eat it plain.
