My pretzels didn't turn out as soft as I would have liked. I think I overcooked them.

These pretzels are a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

These pretzels are also great for freezing. Just bake them from frozen until they're heated through.

I used a variety of cheeses in my pretzels, including cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan. They all worked great.

The baking soda bath is a key step in this recipe. It gives the pretzels their signature chewy texture.
