    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2            cup  warm water
       1/4         ounce  rapid rise yeast -- (1 pkg)
    1           teaspoon  sugar
    2          teaspoons  salt
    4               cups  flour -- (4 to 5c), (I did a mix of all 
purpose and whole wheat flour)
       1/2      teaspoon  oil
       1/4           cup  baking soda
    1                     egg
                          coarse salt

Preheat oven to 200F

Combine water and yeast in an oven safe medium bowl and let it sit 
for a few minutes until it gets foamy. Add sugar, two teaspoons of 
salt, and flour; one cup at a time. You can use a stand mixer with 
the dough hook attachment or just the bowl and a wooden spoon. I did 
the latter. Continue to add flour one cup at a time until the dough 
isn't super sticky and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl 
Remember, you can always add flour but can't take any away.

Remove dough from bowl and knead on a floured surface for 4-5 
minutes. Clean most of the flour and dough bits out of the bowl and 
add oil. Put dough ball into the bowl and turn a few times until it 
is completely oiled.

Boiling & Baking:
Turn off oven and put the dough in. Leave the oven dough slightly 
open and let rise for 40-60 minutes, or until doubled in size. Remove 
dough and split into four equal pieces.

Preheat oven to 450F and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Once 
water is boiling, add the 1/4 cup baking soda. Place two dough balls 
into the boiling water and cook for one minute, flip, and cook the 
other side for an additional minute. Repeat process with other two dough balls.

Place dough balls on a greased cookie sheet or silicon baking liners, 
making sure they are at least 1 1/2- 2" apart. Beat the egg in a 
small bowl and lightly brush the tops of the dough balls and 
carefully slit an "x" into the top of each one. Sprinkle the tops 
with coarse salt.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Cool 
completely and store in an airtight container. Serving

To serve, cut a cone shape out of each top using a serrated knife and 
scoop out extra bread with a spoon.

Description:
    "A hearty wheat pretzel bowl with a salted pretzel crust, the 
perfect complement to a creamy soup on a cold winter night. These 
look a lot more difficult than they actually are; one bowl and the 
yeast does most ofthe work"
