Preheat oven to 400 Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1 1/4 cups warm water let sit till foamy,add sugar ,salt and oil. mix and add flour 1 cup at a time until forms a soft dough and pulls away from sides may need more or less flour.Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. roll out dough into thin ropes and shape like pretzels,set aside dissolve 1/2 cup baking soda in 4 cups Hot water dip each pretzel quickly and shake off then place on greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 min or until lightly browned.
