1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups water (warm)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast or 1 tablespoon instant yeast
3 cups wheat flour
2 teaspoons non-diastatic malt drink powder or 2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 cups water
2 tablespoons baking soda
pretzel salt or kosher salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water

1
Mix the sugar, water and yeast; stir to dissolve.
2
(If you're using instant yeast, skip this step, simply combining all of the ingredients at once.) Add the white wheat flour, malt, salt, and enough unbleached flour to make a soft (but not sticky) dough.
3
Knead well, place in a bowl, and let rise till doubled.
4
Divide the dough into 16 pieces.
5
Roll each piece into a log, and shape the logs into pretzels.
6
In a large pot, boil together 6 cups of water and 2 tablespoons baking soda.
7
Put 4 pretzels at a time into the boiling water, and cook for 1 minute.
8
Transfer boiled pretzels to a lightly greased baking sheet.
9
When all the pretzels have been cooked, paint them with an egg glaze (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water) and sprinkle with salt or seeds (if desired), then bake in a preheated 450u00b0F oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pretzels are well-browned.
