Mix 2 cups water with 2 cups flour, yeast, and sugar. Set aside in a warm place for 40 min.Add the honey, salt, and remaining flour. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.Let the dough rise for 1 hour.Divide into 13 equal pieces, roll out and shape into pretzels.Prepare the soak by bringing 1/2 cup of baking soda and 10 cups of water to a boil. Gently dip each pretzel into the soak for 30 seconds and then move to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to allow the pretzels adequate space to rise in the oven. I normally put 6 on a cookie sheet.Brush the pretzels lightly with the egg wash and top as desired. My favorite combination is chopped fresh rosemary and coarse salt.Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Rotate the pans half-way through for even cooking.Makes 13 pretzels.Number of Servings: 13Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BANANAFISH711.
