Recipe=Easy Homemade Pretzels

I was looking around and found this recipe that looks SUPER easy for some homemade pretzels. Anyway, I got this recipe from Saving A Bundle.  YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A BREADMAKER FOR THIS ONE! :) Okay, here is that recipe......

Pretzels



This picture if from Saving a Bundle blog.

I love breads and these pretzels make the most delicious snack or side item for dinner! I especially like to make them with Sweet & Sour dinner.

1 Tablespoon Yeast
1 1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
Dissolve yeast in water and sugar for about 10 minutes then add the salt and 3 3/4 cups flour. Mix until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Use 1/4 cups flour to light flour the counter to roll the pretzels. You can make any shape you like I like to make a heart and twist the two ends together to make a pretzel.

When all the pretzels are on the pan butter and salt-I like to use a thick coarse salt for the top. Place in oven on 350 degrees and bake about 5 minutes-pull out and brush with butter again. Finish baking about 3 to 5 minutes. We have done many variations of these too: cinnamon & sugar, Parmesan, etc. Enjoy!

Thanks Saving a Bundle for sharing such an AWESOME recipe!
