1 tsp yeast
1 tbsp brown sugar
salt to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour, additional flour required
1 warm cup milk
1 egg
coarse kosher salt
In a large bowl, mix yeast, sugar, salt, flour and milk. Once you have a big hunk of dough, remove and knead by hand on a flat surface for 5-10 minutes, until the consistency is smooth. You will need to add extra flour as you knead the dough (about 2/3 cup).
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Split into 8 hunks, and roll out 1 inch wide dough strips - about one foot long each. Cover with a towel and let rise for 10 minutes. Re-roll dough strips. Whisk egg in a small bowl, and brush each strip with egg. To form pretzel shape, pick up dough strip, hold horizontally to you, and fold edges criss-cross, pressing the edges lightly into the pretzel. Place onto baking sheet. Sprinkle kosher salt on top, and place in oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve immediately.
