Preheat oven to 425 degrees F or 220 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat and set aside.
Take a small bowl. Add Some warm Water and Yeast. Let it rest for 5 minutes so that it gets activated. After five minutes add salt and sugar. Stir well.
In a large bowl, pour in flour. Add the yeast mixture that you just prepared and make a dough. You can use a bread hook or a food processor and just your hands to make the dough.
First shape the dough in the form of a log. Cut out equal parts of eight sections from the log. Roll each part about 15 to 20 inches long with about 1-inch thickness. Use your scissors to cut out 2-inch pieces. You'll get about 30 pretzels. (optional) Cut an "X" or "+" sign on the top of the pretzels.
In a small pan, bring about 5 cups of water to boil. Once the water is boiling add about 1/3 cup baking soda. Place about 10 pieces of dough into the water and place for not more than 30-seconds. Use a slotted spoon to get them out and place them on the silicone mat. Brush egg wash and sprinkle salt over them.
Bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Turn the oven to broil mode for the last two minutes for a perfect golden brown top. Transfer them to a cooling rack and brush melted butter over them. Serve with homemade cheese sauce.
