Here is how you make Homemade Pretzels (Richard Bolster):

Preheat oven to 350.Place flour, barley, salt, yeast, and water into a stand mixer with a dough cook.Knead using stand mixer until a smooth round ball forms, about 5 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, coat and cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temp. until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down, cover and let stand 45 minutes or until doubled again.Turn out onto floured surface and cut into 2 oz. sections. Roll each section into 15-inch long tubes and twist. To twist: place the rolled dough at the top of your rolling surface. Bring the two ends down in an arc until they meet (think of a teardrop shape). Cross the ends and overlap them leaving two 1.5 inch 'ends'. Twist these around each other so that you have a quarter-inch nub remaining. Bring these nubs up to the top of the body of the pretzel and press firmly in place.To bathe: Using a large spatula (or slotted spoon), gently place the pretzel in the rolling boil. flip the pretzel at 30 seconds and boil for an additional 30 seconds for a total boil time of 1 minute. Remove to a cooking sheet prepared with parchment paper and sprinkle with pretzel salt.Bake for 16 minutes at 350 degF. Turn out onto cooling rack.Serving Size:?Makes 12 PretzelsNumber of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user VAHOMEBREW81.
