Preparing the Dough

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. For easier kneading, use the Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master. 3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping the Pretzels

4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. 5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 12 inches. 6. Shape each rope into a pretzel or broomstick shape—by twisting or creating a small bundle, mimicking broom bristles if desired.

Baking the Broomstick Pretzels

7. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda, and carefully dip each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. 8. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pretzels to the prepared baking sheet. 9. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush over each pretzel for a shiny finish. 10. Sprinkle with seeds or cheese if desired. 11. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
