The ingredients for Easy Auntie Anne's Pretzels are:

1 1/4 cup warm water
1 TB plus 1/4 teaspoon yeast
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup plus 2TB powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups baking soda
1/4 cup butter, melted
kosher or pretzel salt

Bath: 4 cups warm water

Here is how you make Easy Auntie Anne's Pretzels:

1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a small bowl or cup. Let sit for a fewminutes.2. Combine flour, powdered sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add water with yeast and vegetable oil. Stir with a spoon and then use your hands to form dough into a ball. Knead the dough for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface. (Dough will be nice and smooth when ready). Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, coverit, store in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until dough rises to double in size.3. When dough has risen, preheat oven to 425 degrees.4. Make a bath for the pretzels by combining the baking soda with the warm waterand stir until baking soda is mostly dissolved.5. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into 8 even portions. Roll each portion on a flat non-floured surface until it is about 3 ft long. Pick up both ends of the dough and give it a little spin so the middle of the dough spins around once. Lay the dough down with the loop nearest to you. Fold the ends down toward you and pinch to attach them to the bottom of the loop. The twist should be in the miiddle.6. Holding the pinched ends, dip each pretzel into the bath solution. Put each pretzel on a paper towel for a moment to blot the excess liquid. Arrange the pretzels on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. If you want salt, sprinkle pretzels with kosher salt or pretzel salt. DON'T salt any pretzels you plan to coat with cinnamon sugar. You will likely have to use two baking sheets and bake them separately. Bake the pretzels for 4 minutes and then spin the pan around and bake for another 4-5 minutes or until the pretzels are golden brown.7. Remove the pretzels from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. If you want to eat some now, brush them with melted butter first before serving. 10 small pretzels. I actually like to make these into rolls and cook them at 350 degrees. Delicious for ham sandwiches.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CALLHERPETROL.
