Pretzels are fantastic. They are great for snacks and MH says they are great for breakfast too. The Joy of Cooking has a simple recipe that doesn't require anything out of the norm from your kitchen/pantry. I split the batch to make salted pretzels and cinnamon sugar pretzels.
Clearly, I am not the best pretzel maker. Most of them turned into pretzel buns instead of pretzels. I should have rolled out the dough into longer strips to give the dough more space to rise without impeding the classic pretzel shape. Good to know for next time I guess.
These pretzels definitely weren't the best I have ever had. Auntie Anne's and the Amish pretzels at the Philadelphia Reading Terminal Market are better without a doubt, but I think they give Wetzel's Pretzels a good run for their money. Nevertheless, pretzels are another thing I can check off of my list and say I made from scratch.
