Yield 24 pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups occident flour (bread flour)
2 cups flour
1/2 cup baking soda, into

sweet creamy butter, for 'dipping' face of pretzels after baking (melt butter, then let set a few minutes, and use paper towel to remove cream which will float to the)

  • Dip face of pretzel into melted butter.
  • Variation: add 1 t vanilla to the dough.
  • Flavor variations.
  • Cinnamon/sugar- omit salt& dip into cinnamon sugar after face has been coated with butter.
  • Sour cream& onion- after dipping face of pretzel in butter, sprinkle with sour cream& onion powder Garlic- same as sour cream& onion, but use garlic powder.
  • Sesame or poppy seed--BEFORE baking, AFTER dipping into dipping solution, dip pretzel face-down into the seeds, then bake.
  • Salt is optional with this one.

I thought these pretzels were pretty good. They were soft and chewy, but I wish they had a little more flavor.

These pretzels are okay, but I've had better. They're a little too salty for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pretzels turned out really dense and heavy. They weren't very good.

These pretzels were a huge disappointment. The dough was difficult to work with and the pretzels were tough and chewy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pretzels didn't turn out as good as I hoped. They were a little dry and not very chewy.

These pretzels are delicious! The dough was a little sticky at first, but I added a little more flour and it was fine. They were soft and chewy, with a nice crispy crust.

I've made pretzels before, but this recipe is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the pretzels baked up beautifully. They were a hit at my party!
