    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/3           cups  warm water -- (110F/45C)
    2        tablespoons  margarine
    1 1/2    tablespoons  white sugar
       3/4      teaspoon  salt
    4               cups  all-purpose flour
    2 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast
    4               cups  water
    1 1/4    tablespoons  baking soda
    2        tablespoons  kosher salt

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. 
Proof for 5 minutes.

Mix in butter or margarine, flour, and salt. Cut dough into short 
strips, roll into ropes, and shape into pretzels. Cover, and let rise 
on a greased baking sheet for about 45 minutes.

In a cast iron or other nonaluminum pan, bring water and baking soda 
almost to a boil. Gently lower pretzels into water for about 1 
minute, turning once. Do not let water come to a full boil. Remove 
pretzels, and return to greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake at 475F (245C) for about 12 minutes.
