Soft Pretzel
Big soft pretzels are all the rage in shopping malls across the country. I think it's worth the time to make them from scratch to get the incomparable homemade taste.

Super awesome pretzels. So delicious
I made these into ropes and instead of shaping like a pretzel, I cut the ropes into 1" pieces. Perfect size for snacks. I also shaped some ropes into pretzels as well.
I know this sounds weird, but try this recipe for a homemade pizza crust! It's great! Thanks for the recipe!
Made these for years for my kids. I add a cheese sauce for dipping:8 oz. American cheese, cubed, 1 pkg. 3oz. cream cheese, 1-2T milk, l/2t. mustard. Put in micro till melted 2-3 min. stir in milk. serve w/pretzels. Great!
Easy and fun. I made them larger than recommended, and they were fantastic!
This was one of the most dissapointing recipes I've ever tried. I didn't even have the heart to feed the leftovers to my critters outside!!!
This was a super fun recipe that we made as a family. We put cinnamon sugar, garlic powder, course salt and some other toppings to mix it up. These didn't rise much in the fridge and at first I wasn't sure how they would come out since it was a bit on the dry side. We used our fingertips to lightly wet the dough to make it easier to work with and as we did that it was much easier. Sitting and waiting for the over they rose even more. The entire family wants to make these again, a lot of fun :)
