Zach works in the mall right next to the famous pretzelmaker. Every mall has one or two. During a shopping trip, we have all given into the delicious smell of freshly baked preztels and wasted $3 for that small treat. He smells that everyday, all day...tempted. "How hard could it be to make them at home?" he thought.
So, I looked up a recipe and we made our first attempt. Yeast, flour, and lots of kneading later, this is what we got.
They look good, right? Well, looks aren't everything, my friend. They weren't very good.
Tips for next time:
-white flour
-let rise longer?
-try new recipe!
Anyone else every tried to make soft pretzels? help!

lots of butter? butter makes everything better. (and bigger...my buns are proof of this). i love soft pretzels!
Cinnamon-sugar? I've never tried soft pretzels, but have often wanted to. Yes, white flour (at least half) will probably help. You've to the rolling down...they LOOK beautiful! ;)
or...buy Zach some nose plugs to wear as he passes the pretzel place! :)
I beg to differ!! They were delicious! :)
I can email you my friend Rachel's "Mall Pretzel" recipe. I tried it once long ago and it was good. Maybe not as good as the actual mall pretzels....but give it a try and let me know.
