Author Notes
The pretzel recipe comes from a collaboration between two Seattle businesses: Krista's Baking Co. and Mustard and Co. They moved into a new production and warehouse space together at the beginning of the year, and between Krista's baking mixes and, well, Mustard, a Soft Pretzel mix only seemed fitting. The product isn't out quite yet- but we're excited to get to share the recipe in the meantime.

Ingredients
-
1.5 cups
water, warm
-
1 packet
active dry yeast
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 tablespoon
cane sugar
-
4 cups
all-purpose flour
-
1
large egg, for egg wash
-
Pinch
course salt, for finishing
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Set aside two baking sheets.
-
In a medium sized bowl, combine the warm water and yeast and mix for about one minute, until the yeast is dissolved.
-
Shape the dough into a small log and cut into 10 evenly sized pieces. Roll each piece into a long, even rope (about 20 inches). Make the pretzel shape by creating a U, then twist the ends across each other and press the dough together. Lay pretzels on the baking sheets.
-
Make your egg wash in a small bowl and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the tops of the pretzels. Sprinkle with course finishing salt and bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for three minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Pretzels are best enjoyed the day that they are made, dipped in Mustard and Co.'s classic mustard.
