These pretzels turned out very well! I made a half-batch last night and my husband raved about them and hinted that I should make them again (I'm waiting for the dough to rise right now as I write this). I did make a couple of adjustments, though: I reduced the dough to 4 cups, and I used all brown sugar in both the yeast mixture and the flour mixture. This allowed the pretzel to come out soft and chewy, yet not doughy. And DO reduce your baking temperature to 400 to allow the pretzels to bake thoroughly while not scorching the bottoms. Also, be sure to use greased waxed paper or parchment, so that you can easily remove them from the pan. Immediately out of the oven, I brushed them with sweet butter (there's enough salt in there already) and served them warm. They flew off the plate!
