1 1/2 Cup warm water	3 Cup regular flour
1 1/8 Tsp active yeast (1 1/2 pkg)	Dipping Bath
2 Tbs. brown sugar	2 Cups Warm Water
1 1/8 Tsp salt	2 Tbsp Baking Soda
1 Cup bread flour	2-4 Tbsp Butter, Melted

Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour. While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbs. baking soda. Be certain to stir often. After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel into soda solution and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzel to rise again. Bake at 450°F for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!

Toppings:
After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, or parmesan cheese.
Dip into Cheddar cheese, cream cheese frosting, Honey mustard, or spaghetti sauce!
