    Title: Lancelot's Sourdough Pretzels
    Categories: Breads, Snacks
    Yield: 12 Servings

    MMMMM--------------------------PRETZELS-------------------------------
    3/4 c + 2 tb lukewarm water
    1 c Unfed sourdough starter;
    - straight from the ice box
    3 c King Arthur Sir Lancelot
    - Unbleached Hi-Gluten Flour
    1/4 c Nonfat dry milk
    2 tb Non-diastatic malt powder
    +=OR=+
    1 tb Sugar
    1 tb Butter
    1 1/2 ts Salt
    2 ts Instant yeast

    MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
    1 tb Non-diastatic malt powder or
    - sugar
    2 tb Water
    Pretzel salt
    2 tb Melted butter

    Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with vegetable oil
    spray, or lining it with parchment paper. If you're not
    using King Arthur Flour's brand, grease the parchment
    with vegetable oil spray to make double-sure the
    pretzels won't stick.

    Mix and knead the dough ingredients - by hand, mixer, or
    bread machine - to make a cohesive, fairly smooth dough.
    It should be slightly sticky; if it seems dry, knead in
    an additional tablespoon or two of water.

    Cover the dough and let it rest for 45 minutes. It will
    rise minimally. Towards the end of the rising time, set
    the oven @ 350┬║F/175┬║C.

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased work surface,
    fold it over a few times to gently deflate it, then
    divide it into 12 pieces, each weighing about 2 1/4 to 2
    1/2 ounces.

    Title: Soft Beer Pretzel Nuggets
    Categories: Beer, Breads, Snacks
    Yield: 8 Dozen

    12 oz Amber beer
    1/4 oz Env active dry yeast
    2 tb Unsalted butter; melted
    2 tb Sugar
    1 1/2 ts Salt
    4 1/2 c A-P flour
    2/3 c Baking soda

    MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
    1 lg Egg yolk
    1 tb Water
    Coarse salt; opt

    In a small saucepan, heat beer to 110°-115°; remove from
    heat. Stir in yeast until dissolved. In a large bowl,
    combine butter, sugar, salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups
    flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough
    remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be
    sticky).

    Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth
    and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl,
    turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a
    warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

    Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

    Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface;
    divide and shape into 8 balls. Roll each into a 12-in.
    rope. Cut each rope into 1-in. pieces.

    In a Dutch oven, bring 10 cups water and baking soda to
    a boil. Drop nuggets, 12 at a time, into boiling water.
    Cook for 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain
    well on paper towels.

    Place on greased baking sheets. In a small bowl, whisk
    egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water; brush over pretzels.
    Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired. Bake 10-12 minutes
    or until golden brown. Remove from pans to a wire rack
    to cool.
