   In a small bowl, combine beaten eggs and 1 tbsp water and mix. Brush the top of the pretzel with the egg wash.

   In a bowl, mix water, salt, and sugar until dissolved. Add yeast, and let it rest for 5 minutes until yeast starts to foam.

   In a stand mixer using the dough hook attachment, add yeast mixture, flour and 2 tbsp oil, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed until dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
