EASY SOFT AMISH PRETZELS

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm but not hot water
1 3/4 cups bread flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
coarse salt for sprinkling
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yeast, sugar, salt and warm water. Stir in the flour until a rough ball forms.
3. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead with lightly floured hands until smooth (about 5 to 8 minutes).
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each into a rope about 10 inches long. Shape into pretzel forms. Brush the pretzels with the egg and sprinkle with the salt. Bake until barely light golden, about 10 minutes.
