2 c  Milk
2 pk Yeast,Active, Dry
1/2 c  Sugar
2    Eggs,Large
1   ,Water
1/4 c  Almonds,Chopped
1/2 c  Butter (Or Margarine)
2 t  Salt
7 c  Flour,Unbleached
1 c  Confectioners’ Sugar

Directions:
Heat milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees F.).  Mix
yeast, salt, sugar, and 1 cup flour.  Slowly beat into warm milk.
Beat for 2minutes.  Add eggs and 1 cup of flour.  Beat for an additional
2 minutes. Add enough flour to form a soft dough.  Knead until smooth
and elastic, about 5 minutes.  Place dough in a greased bowl.  Let
rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.  Punch
dough down and let rise again until doubled. (1 hour more).  Divide
dough in half.  Shape pretzel as follows:  Roll dough into a rope
about 30 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.  Cross the ends
leaving a large loop in the center.  Flip loop back onto crossed ends
to form a pretzel.  Repeat with remaining dough. Place pretzels on
greased baking sheets.  Let rise 15 minutes more.  Bake at 375
degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool on wire
racks.  Mix confectioners’ sugar, water and vanilla to form a thin
icing. Spread icing on pretzels and sprinkle with chopped almonds.
