In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, butter and egg. Stir in 3 cups flour mix until smooth. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Cover bowl tightly with foil refrigerate for 2-24 hours. Punch dough down and divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, cut each half into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 20-in. rope. Shape into the traditional pretzel shape and place on a greased baking sheet. In a small bowl combine egg yolk and water brush over the pretzels. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until brown.
