Add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, and mix until a smooth and slightly sticky dough forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise about one hour, until doubled in size. I usually keep my bowl near the stove as I am cooking to help a rising process a bit. it takes around an hour for dow to rise for me .

Preheat the oven to 450. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Divide the dough into pieces, and roll each piece into a long skinny rope. I am usually trying to get around 18 inches out of each ball. Twist into a pretzel shape.
