Mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and pour it into the bowl. Let it all pull in 15 min.
Add now the soft margarine and kneaded it all good together. Let it soak in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Portion the dough up so we have 12 equal-sized pieces. They rolled out so now it in the middle is thicker than the rest of the ca. 50 cm. They are now shaped Brezeln added about 1 hour in the refrigerator.
In the meantime, you can mix the advertised caustic soda.
REMEMBER: the mixture develops heat so a bowl that can tolerate heat must be used. FIRST POUR WATER IN AND THEN CAUSTIC SODA.

It takes so the Brezeln out of the fridge and dipping them in about 30 sec. in soda mixture. Use if necessary. key kitchen gloves or a slotted spoon.
Once this is done cut it with a sharp knife a deep cut in the thick part of brezel and provides some coarse salt on them.
