Andy and I have been wanting to try to make some soft pretzels lately and last night was the night. I found a great recipe and they turned out wonderful. Here's the recipe if you want to try them out. They are super easy and very yummy!1 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp yeast
2 TB brown sugar
1 TB oil
4 1/2 cup flour
Combine water, yeast, salt brown sugar, and oil, then add flour and knead like bread dough. Let rise till double then roll into strips, if desired shape into pretzels. Dip pretzels into water/soda mixture*, place on greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 450, just till a little brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and dip in melted butter.
*For dipping, prepare 1 cup warm water mixed with 2 tsp soda.
You can serve with mustard, cheese sauce, caramel dip, cinnamon sugar, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, or sesame seeds. Or you can even go the Amish way and wrap the dough around a hot dog before baking.
We tried one with parmesan cheese and spaghetti sauce and then another with dijon mustard. We loved both. You'll never look at the mall pretzels the same.

AW, Man! Remember those scrumptious bagel dogs we used to get every Saturday at the Amish market??? Yummy!
I love this idea. Can't wait for a free evening to try it out! I'm sure they will beat the freezer section's Super Pretzels!
We'll have to try this recipe. I already make the pizza recipe and love it (I found it in a magazine and then saw your post).
Those look and sound good! Pretzels are something I haven't tried yet, I think I will have to soon!
