Buckwheat Pretzels
 
  Ingredients  
 

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup buckwheat flour
(light or whole)
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 egg white

Slightly beaten sesame seeds, poppy seeds and/or coarse salt

 
  Method  
  In large bowl, mix two flours and salt. Add eggs and milk; blend to form a medium soft dough. Knead dough on a floured board for a few minutes. Place dough into a sealed container or zipper-top plastic bag; let rest for about 20 minutes. Cut dough into 12 or 16 pieces, depending upon pretzel size you prefer. Roll each piece into a rope and twist into desired shape. Place pretzels on a lightly oiled baking sheet; brush with egg white. Sprinkle with salt, sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.
