Basic recipe pretzels

Knead the dough again and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll out into rolls and turn them into pretzel shapes.

Preheat the oven to 250ºC. Bring a generous pot of water to the boil with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 150 grams of sugar. Stir well and lower the heat source as soon as the water boils.

Put the pretzels carefully in small portions in the pan and cook them for about 2 minutes on both sides. Scoop out of the pan with a slotted spoon and drain.

Place them on the baking sheet and brush with the egg yolk. Sprinkle with salt and fry the pretzels in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown and done.
