I am friends with Jill and I poached them all with her testing. I'm pretty sure the baking soda is what makes them brown so nicely. I am now going to stock up on flour and baking soda, so I can make the pretzels on a regular basis. YUM!!! These are great pretzels! I am friends with Jill and I poached them all with her testing.

I was curious about poaching them - so I made one batch (the one my kids made into letter shapes) without poaching and one with poaching. The poaching made such a huge difference, softer insides and outsides (in a good way) and much darker. The non-poached were good - but very blah looking and crunchier and took more baking time. Definitely poaching entire batch next time! Just made these – soooo yummy.

You have the greatest recipes I've ever seen! I have no ability to cook at all...always looking for what I'm thinking of but can never find it. You however have thought of everything I've been looking for! I cannot wait to make these, your apple crumble, lamb with tzatziki, chili, and, and, and... And even though I don't obviously know you, a wonderful congratulations on your absolutely beautiful baby boy!! I just discovered your site today…my G-D I think I’m in love.

My family loves them. This was the first time I made a yeast based bread and am encouraged to try more! I'm glad my friends suggested this site and look forward to trying more recipes.

They were a hit! I didn't have a single one leftover. I made these for a party and had good old fashoined yellow mustard for dipping. They were a hit! I didn’t have a single one leftover.

Yowzer! They smelled so good that at the halfway point making them, my hubby updated his facebook status talking about how delicious they smelled! Deb, I think he may love you more than me. He even commented that he's so happy I found your site, which is a huge compliment coming from him! And to those intimidated, these were not difficult at all. Lots of fun, in fact. Oh! They are scrumptious. Almost forgot to mention that. Hehehehe. I made these last night, substituting 2 cups AP with whole wheat flour. Yowzer!

I love soft pretzels and these taste exactly like the kind you get at football games. Mine didn't look nearly as pretty, but they sure tasted good! Thanks for the recipe Deb! oh yum yum yum!
