   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2          teaspoons  active dry yeast
      1/2      teaspoon  sugar
      1/2           cup  warm water
   2 1/2           cups  all-purpose flour
      1/4           cup  sugar
      3/4      teaspoon  salt
   1         tablespoon  oil
      1/4           cup  warm water -- to 1/2 cup
      1/4           cup  baking soda
   2               cups  hot water
   2        tablespoons  butter -- melted
   2        tablespoons  confectioner's sugar
      1/4           cup  chocolate -- melted, or as needed optional

Sprinkle the yeast in the warm water and add 1/2 sugar to it. Let it 
stand for 10 minutes or till it froths up very well.

In a bowl combine the flour, sugar and salt

Add the yeast mixture to this and knead well. Add more water if 
necessary. Add the oil and knead till the dough is pliable

Transfer this dough to a well oiled bowl and let it rise for 45-60 minutes

Preheat to the oven to 200C or 400F

When the dough has risen well divide into 6-8 pieces.

Take each piece and roll into a rope on a well floured board.

Twist this rope and form a preztel shape.  Assemble all the prezels.

Now dissolve the baking soda in hot water. Dip all the pretzels in 
this solution and place them on a baking tray (I greased it).

Bake for 10 minutes or till browned

Brush the hot preztels with butter and sprinkle with the confectioner's sugar

Drizzle some with the melted chocolate too.

Serve warm and be sure of the ooh's and aah's being murmured:-)
