Preparation

Step 1

Coat 2 large rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut dough into four equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 24-inch rope; form into a pretzel shape and place on baking sheets.

In a small bowl, beat together egg white and water; brush over top of each pretzel. Sprinkle evenly with kosher salt. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place to rise for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove plastic wrap and bake pretzels 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm.

Notes:
For a little variety, top these with minced onion or garlic salt instead of coarse salt.
