Package Dry active yeast  
Tablespoon Sugar  
Tablespoon Vegetable oil  
−1/2 Cup Warm milk; (110 degrees)  
Cup All−purpose flour −; (to 4 1/2 cups)  
Teaspoon Salt  
Egg white; slightly beaten  
Tablespoon Water  
Tablespoon Kosher salt  
Cup Creole mustard  
Combine the olives, anchovy, garlic, olive oil and black pepper in a food  
processor and process until the mixture is smooth, about 15 seconds. Set  
aside. Combine the yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the oil in the bowl of  
an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the milk. With the mixer on  
low speed, beat the mixture for about 4 minutes to dissolve the yeast. If  
the yeast mixture doesn't begin to foam after a few minutes, it means it's  
not active and will have to be replaced. Add the flour, salt and olive  
mixture to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until it lightly comes  
together, then increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture pulls  
away from the sides of the bowl, forms a ball, and climbs slightly up the  
dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Coat the dough with the  
remaining teaspoon vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl and turn it  
to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, set in a warm, dr Remove  
the dough from the bowl and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Preheat  
the oven 350 degrees. Roll the dough into 12− by 10−inch rectangle. Cut into  
2
0 strips, 12− by 1/2−inches. Gently pull each strip into a rope about 16  
inches long. To form the pretzels, cross one end over the other to form a  
circle, overlapping about 4 inches from each end. Take one of the dough in  
each hand and twist once at the point where the dough overlaps. Carefully  
lift each end across to the edge of the circle opposite it. Tuck the ends  
under the edges to form a pretzel shape. Lightly moisten the ends with water  
to seal completely. Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Bake  
for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven. Bring 1 gallon of salted water to a  
boil. Add several of the pretzels at a time in the boiling water. Cook for 2  
minutes on each side. With a slotted spoon remove from the water. Drain on  
paper−towels. Bring the water back to a boil and repeat the cooking process.  
Regrease the baking sheet. Place the pretzels on the baking sheet. Whisk the  
egg whites and water together. Using a pastry brush, brush each pretzel with  
the egg wash. Sprinkle each pretzel with the kosher salt. Bake for 20 to 25  
minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm with  
Creole Mustard. This recipe yields 20 pretzels.
