Directions

Add water, egg, sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast to bread machine pan in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough/manual cycle.
When cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Roll into a 12 x 4-inch [14 x 6-inch] rectangle. With sharp knife, cut into eight 12 x 1/2-inch [twelve 14 x 1/2-inch] strips. Gently pull each strip into a rope about 14 [16] inches long. To shape into pretzels: Curve ends of each rope to make a circle; cross ends at top. Twist ends once and lay over bottom of circle. Place on greased baking sheet[s]. Do not let rise.
Combine egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush on pretzels. Sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seeds. Bake at 350^°F for 18 to 20 minutes or until done. (For even browning when using two sheets, switch sheets halfway through baking.) Remove from sheet[s]; cool on rack.
