7. Add the rest of the egg and sweet potato puree to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms
8. Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
9. Shape pretzels by taking a small piece of dough, rolling it into a 10-inch rope, shape into a “U”, then twist the ends and fold them back over to create the pretzel shape
10. Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon beaten egg
