These pretzels are very good! I, too, brush them with butter instead of the egg before baking. The recipe makes a lot, so I usually freeze half. To do this, shape the dough, then freeze the unbaked pretzels on a cookie sheet. Once they are frozen, you can transfer them to a freezer bag. When you want to make them, just take them out of the freezer and put them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and cover them loosely with lightly oiled plastic wrap, and leave them to thaw and rise. You can also thaw them slowly in the refrigerator the night before you plan to bake them.
