Warm up 3/4 cup of water and dissolve 1.5 tsp. green tea powder by whisking until there are no lumps; set aside.

Mix together in a small dish dry yeast and 1 tsp. Sugar, add little less than 1/4 cup warm water, stir and let the yeast become bubbly/frothy.
-
In a large bowl add All-Purpose flour, and add salt, baking powder, mix. Add remaining 2 tsp. sugar, mix again. Make a well in the flour and add activated dry yeast. Slowly pour in about few tbsp. of dissolved green tea powder water, mix in with the activated yeast and flour. Add the rest of the green powder water, stir then add water about 4 oz. Mix with the wooden spoon, then knead for 10-12 minutes until dough becomes elastic and when you touch or poke it doesn't stick too much to your fingers.

Preheat the oven o 400°F (200°C/gas 6-moderately hot).

Once the dough is almost double in size, knead it for few minutes, make a ball then cut into equal parts (like in the picture). Make thinner strips of dough, then make pretzels. You can make a double loop if you desire (I made one as you can see).
