List of Ingredients
1/2 cup water (70 to 80�F)

Recipe
Add water, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, all-purpose flour, sugar, and yeast to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough/manual cycle.
When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in 1 tablespoon flour to make dough easy to handle. Roll into a 12 � 4-inch rectangle.
With sharp knife, cut into eight 12 � 1/2-inch strips. Gently pull each strip into a rope about 14 inches long. To shape into pretzels: curve ends of each rope to make a circle; cross ends at top. Twist ends once and lay over bottom of circle. Place on greased baking sheet.
Do not let rise. Combine lightly beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush on pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seed. Bake at 350�F for 18 to 20 minutes or until done. (For even browning when using two sheets, switch positions of sheets halfway through baking.) Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack.
