My favorite treat growing up was to get a pretzel at the fair. Now I can make my own.

1. Mix 1 cup flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast.

2. Heat 1 cup water and margarine to 120 to 130 degrees.

3. Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add 1/2 cup flour.

4. Beat at high speed 2 minutes.

5. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. On floured board, knead 5 minutes.

6. Set in greased bowl; turn to grease top.

7. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place 40 minutes.

10. Cover; let rest 5 minutes.

11. Mix egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water; brush on pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
