Bake your own soft pretzels. Here is an easy and delicious recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 11/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- course salt to sprinkle on pretzels
Directions:
Stir yeast into water. Add the sugar and salt. Blend in flour with hands. Knead until smooth. Cut into pieces and roll into long, skinny twists. Put a little flour on the counter and give the child a piece of dough to create what he or she wants – balls, worms, letters, or pretzel shapes. Put onto a foil-lined, well-greased cookie sheet. Brush with the egg. Sprinkle with the salt. Bake immediately at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
