For review in first grade and as they learn new letters in kindergarten, the children could make "Taste Treats" by making alphabet letters which are pretzels. Dissolve: 1 pkg. dry yeast Mix: 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt With a large spoon work flour mixture into yeast mixture. (It may be necessary to add a little more water at this point.) When about three cups of flour mixture have been worked in, knead on a countertop while working in remaining flour mixture. Set mixture aside to rise. (For about 30 minutes or until double in bulk--place out of drafts.) Divide dough into 18-24 parts. Shape dough into letters and place on greased pans. Use mixture of 1 egg slightly beaten plus 1 tbsp. water to "paint" letters. Sprinkle with coarse-grained salt. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until brown.
