- 4 T brown sugar
- 2 t sea salt
- 1 T yeast, dissolved in water

Directions

In large mixing bowl, mix yeast, brown sugar and salt.

Add flour and mix until dough is smooth; if sticky add more flour. If possible let the dough sit overnight in the refrigerator.

Divide the dough into 6 or 12 pieces.
-
Roll each piece into a rope, very thin, a little bigger than a pencil. Shape into an upside down U shape on your table. Bring the ends together and twist them. Flatten the ends and bring to the top of the pretzel and press in the dough to secure making it look like a pretzel.
