  1. This is a very easy recipe to make and best of all they make a delicious pretzel. I think the next batch I make I will brush with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Can't wait to make more. Great recipe to have kids help!!

  3. WoW!! So very very very good and soft and delicious! We couldn't stop eating these lovely pretzels :). I mixed the dough in my bread machine, not sure if that's why but I did have to add a bit more water to the mix and I added about a 1/4 cup of ground flax seed. We made 2 dozen small pretzels and 6 pretzel buns. I think my oven rack may have been a bit too high as the tops got rather dark but still very good. I also toasted some sesame seeds and added them to some of the pretzels. I'll have to try them with whole wheat flour next as that's my preferred choice. My boys both informed me it was worth waiting a bit longer for this snack :). The only question I have is what is the best way to store the pretzels to retain their soft goodness. We've ended up with some rather chewy, but still tasty, leftover pretzels. Thanks for posting Chef Larry! Made and devoured for PAC Spring 2011 :)
