Instructions

Dissolve the yeast in warm water.
Add the sugar, salt, and flour. Mix until well blended.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
Cut off small portions of dough, roll into ropes, and twist into pretzel shapes.
Arrange the pretzels on greased cookie sheets.
Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
