Soft Pretzels

Yum! I love soft pretzels! They are a fun treat for your family, especially on movie nite :)

1 1/2 c. warm water

1 1/8 tsp. active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. honey (original recipe had brown sugar)

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1c. bread flour

3c. all purp., unbleached flour

Mix and knead together all ingredients. Let rest for 10-20 min. In the mean time, prepare your soda bath in a shallow dish:

2c. warm water

2 Tbsp. baking soda

When your dough is done resting, cut off a piece of dough and roll into a long rope and shape into a pretzel. You can also make pretzel sticks. Then dip the tops of the pretzels into the soda bath. Place them on a lightly greased baking sheet. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Let pretzels rest in the mean time. When oven is heated, bake them for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, get:

4 Tbsp. butter, melted

course sea salt

(you can also make these with cinnamon and sugar and dip in frosting!)

When pretzels are done baking, brush with the melted butter and salt right away.

Then, Serve!!! Enjoy! We dip ours in nacho cheese! :)
