My favorite treat is a bagel dog at Katz bagels. :) Also can you freeze the dough so they are ready to boil and bake? Do you think this could be transformed into pigs in pretzel blankets?

I was astonished at how easy the pretzels really were! Thanks for being specific about the temperature of the water for the yeast step. The first time I tried to prepare the yeast I just waited for the water to seem warm enough and the yeast did not get foamy at all. Second time, I actually used a thermometer to make sure and it came out perfectly. As someone brand-new to baking bread, that very specific direction really helped the process go smoothly and let me problem-solve - I'm pretty sure I would have given up otherwise.

Instead of the egg wash, I melted some butter and brushed that on the pretzels before baking. I already have many requests to make them again.

The boys and I made them tonight and they were fantastic! I used a wooden spoon and had no trouble! I'm very proud of myself for making such a great looking product. Thanks for all the great recipes!

They were great. I made half with salt and half with cinnamon sugar (brushed a bit of butter on the pretzels when they came out of the oven and then dipped them in a plate of cinnamon/sugar).

Did I not let the mixture boil down enough? So I made these today but they all came out tasting like baking soda. Did I not let the mixture boil down enough?
