I like the recipe for a snowy Saturday or Sunday. Leave yourself a couple of hours to tackle this recipe and take your time. With making pretzels, comes a lot of steps, and they are not necessarily difficult. It is long, I will give you that, but it’s really not as bad as it looks. I know that the recipe below is going to scare the living daylights out of you. The two were a perfect match.įor an easy to follow visual on how to shape pretzels, please visit The Kitchn where they have a full-proof method! This link is my go-to everytime. I complimented this recipe with a spicy beer cheese sauce that was to … die … for. I didn’t do anything elaborate with it, but I’ll get to some fun flavors after Zach and I (and Cilantro!) have moved. This particular recipe involves a traditional soft pretzel dough. There is really no shaping involved, which can get tedious if you aren’t used to it. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and if you’ve never made pretzels before, this is a good place to start.

I’ve always taken the easy way out and made them into bites.

I’ve made pretzels before, quite a few times actually, but never have I made a traditional pretzel. There are a couple of breweries in the area that serve them right along side their special brews, and this has to be one of my favorite combos in the world! Nothing beats a warm, soft pretzel straight out of the oven. I’m a HUGE sucker for a good homemade pretzel. You will be surprised at how easy they can be to make, and you will get the hang of it in no time at all! Try something new, and make your own pretzels instead of buying them.
