Add rest of flour and mix with bread hook until combined. Continue mixing for 5 minutes. Put in lightly greased bowl and let rise for 1 hour or until double in size.
Punch down and let rest 10 minutes. Heat oven to 475 degrees. Roll dough into rectangular shape (~16x10) and cut into 1 inch strips. Stretch strips to about 16 inches and twist into pretzel shape. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 4 minutes. Lower oven temp to 350 degrees.
Boil 3 quarts water and 2 T. table salt. Add cooked pretzels, 3-4 at a time and boil 2 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Place back onto greased cooking sheet and brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until browned.
