     1/2   c            Butter Or Margarine
   2       pk           Yeast -- Active, Dry
   2       ts           Salt
     1/2   c            Sugar
   7       c            Flour -- Unbleached
   2       ea           Eggs -- Large
   1       c            Confectioners' Sugar
   1       x             -- Water
   1       t            Vanilla Extract
     1/4   c            Almonds -- Chopped

  Heat milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees
  F.).  Mix yeast, salt, sugar, and 1 cup flour.  Slowly
  beat into warm milk.  Beat for 2 minutes.  Add eggs
  and 1 cup of flour.  Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
  Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  Knead until
  smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.  Place dough in a
  greased bowl.  Let rise in a warm place until doubled
  in bulk, about 1 hour.  Punch dough down and let rise
  again until doubled. (1 hour more).  Divide dough in
  half.  Shape pretzel as follows:  Roll dough into a
  rope about 30 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in
  diameter.  Cross the ends leaving a large loop in the
  center.  Flip loop back onto crossed ends to form a
  pretzel.  Repeat with remaining dough. Place pretzels
  on greased baking sheets.  Let rise 15 minutes more.
  Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until
  golden brown.  Cool on wire racks.  Mix confectioners'
  sugar, water and vanilla to form a thin icing. Spread
  icing on pretzels and sprinkle with chopped almonds.
  Makes 2 large pretzels.
