Our town is known as Pretzel City-even our local sports teams are known as The Pretzels. I came up with this recipe for an annual local recipe contest. People couldn't believe that this delicious bread had pretzels in the mix! For variety, try using different flavors of pretzels. -Andrea Johnson, Freeport, Illinois
