Homemade pretzels

Tick the ingredients you need to add your shopping list.

Preheat the oven to 220˚C/200˚C fan/gas mark 7 and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix water and sugar together in a small bowl, then stir in the yeast.
Let mixture stand in a warm room for about five minutes until it looks foamy.
Whisk the flour, butter and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Stir in the yeast until combined.
Sprinkle a work surface with flour and knead the dough for about 7-10 minutes. The dough should be elastic and smooth, and should spring back when you poke it.
Cut it into 12 equal pieces, then roll each between your hands into a rope about the thickness of a pencil.
Twist each rope to make a pretzel, or any shape you like.
Place on the baking tray and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle over more salt, then bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Serve with mustard for dipping.
