I think this recipe is fantastic! I had a lot of fun making pretzels with my kids (ages 5 and 9) - they came up with some very creative shapes! I wouln't change a thing - we even shared some with neighbors who were native Pennsylvanians and they raved on them!

Delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I didn't have margarine, so I used 1 T. of CountryCrock spread. I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips, which worked well. Also, I had a small piece of dough left (not long enough to make a pretzel-shape), so I made a sort of crossed-ribbon...kinda like the yellow military ribbons or the pink Breast Cancer ribbons. So, if you're doind a fundraiser or even for something like that, it works perfectly (see picture).

These were great. I used butter instead of the egg wash and dipped them in cinnamon sugar. they were very good! oh and i did put about 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour as well.

My husband said these were the BEST pretzels he's ever eaten! I made half of them with salt and half with shredded cheddar cheese. Both were very well received.

this was ok--i had some beer to use up and my daughter loves soft pretzels. while they were reasonably tasty, they didn't really taste like pretzels...

These pretzels tasted good out of the oven but not later. Not even a few hours later. I also had trouble shaping them, but that's probably just me.

This was my first time with making pretzels.. I was not quit with the program this am, I put in the egg & warm water, to late, BUT, it turned out very good, the one thing I did way wrong, was to put to much pretzel salt on them, I had to scrap alot off, & they are ok now, Live & Learn, I think I will try the caraway seeds next time. But I am not disappointed at all. Have a great Day to everyone.

Crispy crust with the egg wash. Nice flavor. My bread machine can do a double batch (2 lb setting) and I can produce 36 at a time. Good for Oktoberfest. Start to finish for 36 was about 2 h, but only about 30 min actual work.

My family LOVES these pretzels... But, I do change one thing... only make half as many as the recipe says. They are bigger and softer and chewier and mmmmmmm so good and hot. A great tasty treat!

These were very good, crunchy outside and soft and chewy inside. My flatmate and neighbour stole most of them. I found they were especially good sprinkled with sesame seeds as well as the kosher salt. Don't make these if you're on a diet, they're irresistable. Oh, and don't feel you have to use a good beer, I use Tesco Value generic 2% volume lager and they still taste good.

This makes wonderful pretzels with a great taste and texture. They should be eaten fresh or they will get hard.

My little niece came over this afternoon. I was in the middle of baking bread. She was watching everything I did. While she watched, she asked if I had tasted Bread Pretzels. When I told her I tried them and I could even make them, her littles eyes got wide and she asked how. Boy was she enthralled with the process. Thanks, Nancy, for providing me with a way to my niece's heart!She thinks I'm AWESOME because I showed her how to make bread pretzels!
