1 T. yeast
1/2 c. water, warm
1 t. honey
1 1/3 c. flour
1 t. salt
1/4 t. coarse salt (optional)
Preheat oven to 425 F. In a small bowl, add yeast, water, and honey. Stir ingredients; let the mixture set for 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt together in a medium bowl. If the yeast mixture is now bigger and bubbly add it to the flour/salt mixture. Stir mixture together, using a spoon. Finish stirring the mixture with your hands. Dough is ready when its crumbly/flaky. Place the dough on a cutting board and knead (10 times)into one big ball. Pull off one piece about the size of a large gumball. Roll it into a skinny snake. Twist it into a pretzel shape and place on a baking sheet. Repeat, making 12 pretzels. *Optional: lightly spray pretzels with cooking spray and sprinkle 1/4 t. of coarse salt evenly over pretzels. Bake for 10 minutes. Let pretzels cool then eat.
Makes 12 pretzels.
