   In a bowl, mix water, salt, and sugar until combined. Add yeast, and let rest 5 minutes until yeast starts to foam. Add flour and 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Remove the dough and use the remaining oil to cover the bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Cut dough into 8 pieces and roll them out into thin ropes, twisting the two ends to form a pretzel shape. Add baking soda to a large pot of water, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side. Transfer pretzels to a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Enjoy!
