Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine. Knead well until smooth. The dough should be soft, if it seems cool and additionally add a table spoon or two of water. Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover and let it rest for 45 minutes in a warm place. It will rise slightly. Towards the end of the fermentation time, preheat the oven to 175 ° C

Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface, divide it into 10 parts.

Roll each piece of dough into a rope with a length of about half a meter.

Shape each rope into a pretzel. Should be three holes and crossed pens!

Dissolve sugar in water. I have unrefined cane sugar, so the color of the syrup so dark.

Spread the pretzels in a sweet syrup and sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds. By the way, instead of sesame seeds you can take and Mac, or even just coarse sea salt!

Bake the pretzels for 25 to 30 minutes, until light Golden-KOR invago color. Proofing before baking is not required. The finished pretzels until hot, brush with melted butter.
