Auntie Annes Copy Recipe
Ready in: 30-60 minutes 
Difficulty: 4 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)Serves/Makes: 12
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cup warm water1 1/8 teaspoon active dry yeast
*2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/8 teaspoon salt1 cup bread flour
3 cups regular flour
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons baking soda
to taste coarse salt
*4 tablespoons butter (melted
PREPARATION:
Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbsp baking soda. Be certain to stir often. After dough has risen, pinch off bits of dough and roll into a long rope* (about 1/2 inch or less thick) and shape. Dip pretzel in soda solution and place on greased baking sheet. Allow pretzels to rise again. Bake in 450 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until golden. Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
Toppings: after you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt. Or for Auntie Anne's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another shallow bowl make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Dip the pretzel into the butter, coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture. Enjoy!
* Now we tweaked the recipe a bit. A view had put some suggestions and we took them. They turned out great . We added 4 Tbs of brown sugar to the mix plus 3 Tbs of melted butter. Then you'll still need the 4 Tbs of butter to put over the pretzels once they are out of the oven.
Also try to roll them out probably a little bigger than a pencil. We thought we had rolled ours out small and they still puffed up big. We will be using this recipe often.
