Divide into 4 equal parts, then divide parts into 3 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a stick about 18 inches. Shape like a pretzel and put on cookie sheet. When finished, put egg in blender or blend by hand so the yolk is completely combined with the whites. Coat each pretzel bread with egg. Sprinkle salt over the bread. Make sure it has a lot of salt on it! Bake at 450 for about 12-15 minutes. Makes 12 pretzel breads. You can also make them into short bread sticks as well, if you don't want them to be in pretzel shape.
