Homemade Pretzels

This evening, my soon to be high school son asked if he could make pretzels. He took a foods class last year and came home with all sorts of recipes. This one in particular, was a keeper. We will be having these again and again!

Homemade Pretzels:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbls sugar
1 Tbls instant yeast
Add dry ingredients to 1 cup hot water. Form into smooth ball. place in a plastic zip lock bag and let rest 30 minutes. Divide dought into 8 pieces. Rool into long ropes and form into pretzel knots. Dip into a mixture of 3/4 cup hot water , 1 Tbls sugar and 1 tsp baking soda. Place on greased baking sheets, sprinkle with coarse salt and let rise 10-15 minutes. Bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes. Brush with melted butter while hot.

This would be a good one for the kids to make this summer. I might try using cinnamon sugar on them too! Yummy.
