Ingredients:





 1 1/2 ts Yeast


   1/2 ts Salt


     2 c  Bread flour


   1/2 c  Egg substitute


   1/4 c  Water


     1    Egg white


     1 tb Water






 Add yeast, salt, bread flour, egg substitute, and 1/2 cup water in the


 order suggested by the bread machine manufacturer and process on the dough


 cycle. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheet with nonfat


 cooking spray. When the dough cycle is complete, remove dough and place on


 lightly-floured surface. Roll dough into 12x4-inch rectangle and cut into
8


 (12-inch) strips. Pull each strip to about 14 inches in length. Form dough


 into pretzel shape: Make a circle; cross the ends at the top, twist the


 ends once and lay over the bottom of the circle. Pretzel logs can also be


 shaped just by making rolled dough into a 12- to 14-inch rope. Place


 pretzels on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine egg white with


 1 tablespoon water and brush on pretzels. If desired, sprinkle pretzels


 with coarse salt, sesame, or poppy seeds. Bake in preheated oven 15 to 20


 seconds. Serve with mustard or cheese dip. Source: "Recipes for Fat-free
