Pretzel Making

Brrr! It has been crazy cold outside. The dreary weather has made this a stay indoors kind of week, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. It is the perfect time to crank up your oven and get creative. While I was at home with my in-laws, we decided to experiment with homemade pretzels! The recipe we used worked so well that I will just repost the link here for you to use. If you need to use a baking sheet more than once, I would suggest lining it with parchment paper. By the end the baking soda had coated our pan and changed the pretzel flavor. All of those got eaten, though, so they can't have been that bad. We were too busy making shapes to whip up any spreads, but butter slathered on top of these soft pretzels was quite tasty!

Once the dough was made, everyone got involved making pretzel shapes.
