Shape each portion of dough into an 18-inch rope with tapered ends; twist each rope into a pretzel shape.4. Preheat oven to 450?.5. Combine 4 cups water and baking soda in a large nonaluminum Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add 4 pretzels; cook 1 minute, turning once (do not overcrowd pan). Remove pretzels with a slotted spoon; shake off excess water. Place pretzels on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt evenly over pretzels. Repeat procedure twice with remaining pretzels and salt.6. Bake pretzels at 450? for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks.Gretchen Brown, Oxmoor House Healthy Eating Collection, Oxmoor House, OCTOBER 2006Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JRROHERTY.
