It may be hard to find some of the ingredients -- pretzel salt and food
grade lye. Pretzels are dipped into a lye solution before baking. Baking
soda can be used instead, but the pretzels won't be as good. Don't use
drain-cleaning lye such as Red Devil or Drano. Coarse Kosher salt, or
coarse sea salt from an Asian market, can be used instead of pretzel salt.

Pretzel recipes can be found at:
