I followed the recipe exactly but my pretzels didn't turn out right. They were too hard and chewy.

These pretzels are a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these ones are really good. They're soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

These pretzels are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. The cinnamon sugar coating is the perfect finishing touch.

I love that this recipe uses a sourdough starter. It gives the pretzels a great flavor and texture.

These pretzels are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're worth the effort. They're so much better than the store-bought kind.

I tried this recipe and the pretzels turned out great! I used a baking soda bath instead of the lye bath and they still came out crispy and delicious.

I've tried a lot of pretzel rod recipes, but this one is by far the best. The pretzels are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just like I like them.
