Poochie Pleasin' Pretzels

Source: Three Dog Bakery Cookbook

1 package active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (110-115 degrees F)
1 tablespoon honey
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add honey and enough flour to make a soft dough and knead for 6 to 8 minutes until smooth.

Pinch off about 2 tablespoons of dough for each pretzel. Roll out dough using the palm of your hand into long, pencil-like shapes, about 12 inches long and 1/2-inch thick. Shape into pretzel twists and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. Store in a sealed container.
