1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups occident flour (bread flour)
2 cups flour
1/2 cup baking soda, into

sweet creamy butter, for 'dipping' face of pretzels after baking (melt butter, then let set a few minutes, and use paper towel to remove cream which will float to the)

  • Dip face of pretzel into melted butter.
  • Variation: add 1 t vanilla to the dough.
  • Flavor variations.
  • Cinnamon/sugar- omit salt& dip into cinnamon sugar after face has been coated with butter.
  • Sour cream& onion- after dipping face of pretzel in butter, sprinkle with sour cream& onion powder Garlic- same as sour cream& onion, but use garlic powder.
  • Sesame or poppy seed--BEFORE baking, AFTER dipping into dipping solution, dip pretzel face-down into the seeds, then bake.
  • Salt is optional with this one.

I tried this recipe and the pretzels turned out great! They were soft and chewy, and the flavor was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again.

These pretzels were a bit more work than I expected, but they were totally worth it! They're so soft and fluffy, and the flavor is amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.

These pretzels were a huge hit! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The dough was easy to work with and the pretzels were soft and chewy on the inside and golden brown on the outside. I will definitely be making these again.
