Turn the dough around and repeat. Knead 5 min. Make into a ball and put in bowl. Cover and let stand in a warm, dark place for 30 min. Fill a large shallow pan half full of water; add baking soda, bring to a simmer. After dough has risen, put on board and punch down. Roll into 6 inch square. With a dull knife, cut the dough into strips about the size of your finger. Twist into pretzel shape and pinch ends together. Slip one at a time into simmering water. When they rise to the top, take them out with a slotted spatula and place a few inches apart on a greased cookie sheet (they will be very slippery). Beat an egg w fork.
