How do you make soft pretzels in a bread machine?

Question

I have some recipes, I just dont know if you are supposed to let the dough go through the rise cycle in the machine or are you supposed to take it out after it is done kneading?

Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
Select White Bread setting, Manual and then press Start.
After the machine has completed the second rising cycle, it will beep.
Remove the dough onto a very lightly floured surface.
Divide into 4 parts.
Divide each fourth into 3 pieces.
Roll each piece into an 18” rope.
Shape rope into a circle, overlapping about 4” from each end, leaving ends free.
Take one end in each hand and twist at the point where dough overlaps.
Carefully lift ends across to the opposite edge of circle.
Tuck ends under edge to make a pretzel shape; moisten and press ends to seal.
Place on greased cookie sheet.
Let rise, uncovered, until puffy, about 20 minutes.
In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 2 quarts of water and 1/3 cup baking soda; bring to a boil.
Lower 1 or 2 pretzels into the saucepan; simmer for 10 seconds on each side.
Lift from water with a slotted spoon.
Return to greased cookie sheet.
Let dry briefly.
Brush with 1 egg white slightly beaten.
Sprinkle with course salt or sesame seeds or leave plain.
If you leave them plain, after they bake dip into melted butter then in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Bake 425 for 4 minutes – then turn cookie sheet around and bake 4 more minutes.
These are sooooo good.

at the beginning creamy isn't what you shgouod seek for. you prefer it bubblyfoamy. and you pick sugar in there to feed the yeast. a million packet (wich maximum recipes call for) is a few million tbsp or 3 tsp.
