Toppings- After you brush with butter try sprinkling with coarse salt; Or, for Auntie Annie's famous Cinnamon Sugar, try melting a stick of butter in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another shallow bowl make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar; Dip the pretzel into the butter, coating both sides generously; Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture;

Notes- The longer and thinner you can make the dough rope, the more like Auntie Annie's they will be.
