Stir and dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in salt, sugar, and 2 cups of flour.
Beat until smooth.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Cut dough into 3oz pieces and roll into balls.
Allow dough to sit for 10 minutes.
Roll out dough into strings and then twist dough pieces in the middle.
Pick up the dough string with two hands each hand holding one end.
Attach the ends to the dough in a pretzel shape.
Place pretzel on a baking sheet and allow to proof until pretzels string thickness is about doubles as thick.
Whisk the eggs with water.
Brush the egg wash on top of the pretzel.
Sprinkle with coarse salt (or Trader Joe's Everything but the Bagel)
Put on to baking sheets and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Dip in prepared mustard if desired.
