i love a good pretzel roll........great post!

dan, like FIU said just sprinkle it on top and it will proof just fine, i do this with all of my yeast doughs. when using dry active yeast, i feel more of the surface area is exposed to the water and thus dissolves much better (won't clump) and inturn is allowed to proof more evenly, the same thing when dissolving gelatin in water. salt will inhibit the growth of yeast but not sure if the amout would in this case.....still, surprised it says to add it this early in the stage.
