These were good, but had more of a bread taste than a pretzel taste. I think this recipe would make a great loaf of bread! I did use 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups of whole wheat flour, which tasted great. I would highly recommend lightly spraying the parchment paper with cooking spray. My husband and I were peeling the paper off the bottom of the pretzels. For those that find the dough hard to work with, it needs to rise until it has at least doubled in size. I usually put my dough in a bowl, cover it with a towel and wrap a warm blanket (out of the dryer) to help it rise. It really cuts down on rising time.

I really liked this recipe, just tried it 2 days ago and loved the results, they came out nice and soft on the inside (do not leave longer than cook time suggested) I accidently left a couple two or three minutes longer and they came out crunchy! My kids loved them covered with butter sugar and cinnamon!

I made these a few months ago. How good does that look! Anyway, I loved them. And I will let you all in on a secret...the first batch I made was like the recipe said, Pretzels. Then I had some dough left over and I didn't feel like using it for pretzels. So I deep fried the dough balls and made little doughnuts or fair style zeppoles and added powdered sugar. Excellent if u want to use the dough for two differnt things.

These taste great. May not be the same taste as the ones from like aunt Annie, but I think these taste better, less greasy or drench in Cinnamon sugar. Very easily to customize to your own taste.

this was my first time making pretzels and first time using yeast ever. I gotta say, these turned out yummy! I made them a much smaller size for a potluck, so I halfed the recipe and it made 14, and I set the oven at 375 and baked them for 6-7 minutes. I ate a couple already and I am thinking about making the other half of the recipe so I will actually have enough for tomorrow. I also only used all-purpose flour, and I just sprayed my cookie sheets with olive oil spray instead of using parchment paper and i had no problems

I used 1/2 the recipes for pretzels and the rest made an outstanding pizza crust. I will be using this recipes for pizza crust, it was very good.

Wow! These are fabulous. But I forgot to let them rise for the added 15-20 minutes...and they were STILL perfect. I kinda got tired of rolling them out so thin, so I divided the dough this time to 24 pieces and rolled them into bread sticks instead. Amazing. To save calories, after they were done, I sprayed them with butter-flavored Pam and sprinkled them with sea salt. Delicious.

So delicious and so simple. Used bread flour for all required flour, still turned out great. These were gone the first day! Will make again.

Great recipe, made them for a halloween party so I shaped them into "pretzel bones" (essetially pretzel sticks with curled ends) and they were a hit. I had no issues with the dough, it shaped out lovely and tasted divine! Thanks for the recipe!

I Love this recipe!! Some people said that they do not store well... I just put the remaining pretzels in a tupperware, and when I wanted one in the next 2-3 days I just popped them in the TOASTER... Mmmmmm

These are GREAT!!! I used some of the suggestions...after dipping them in the baking soda and water, I dropped them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess. I baked them on an insulated cookie sheet that I sprayed with PAM. They browned nicely and didn't stick. I cut them into 6 smaller pretzel stix (like the Mall offers now)/ 3' length. Most of them I rolled in cinnamon sugar but a few I saved and sprinkled them with kosher salt and dipped those in mustard. These are really good. Will be making them again soon!

These are wonderful. My dough wasn't sticky--but I had to knead it a little more. Not too hard to make--for a pretzel recipe. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

I'm editing my review. The first time I made these, they were okay. I made them again and made the following changes - I used all purpose flour for the bread flour, used 2 tsp salt instead of brown sugar and salt, sprinkled kosher salt prior to baking. I sprayed Pam on the baking sheets instead of using parchment paper. Also, I set a small bowl of water on the bottom rack and baked for about 18min using my convection bake setting. After they finished baking, I lightly brushed melted butter on pretzels and added sprinkled more kosher salt on top. These pretzels were great tasting. Brought them to an Oktoberfest party and everybody loved them.

Yum! These were so good, esp. right out of the oven. Did 1/2 with cinn.sugar and half, coarse salt. I preferred the salt. The cinn ones tasted a bit like fried dough...good, but not when you are expecting pretzel. Next time might use less butter or spray. Left the fingers a bit greasy.

These pretzels were very good. As others suggested, I boiled them in the baking soda solution instead of just dipping them. I also brushed them with egg and put salt on before baking, It helped keep the salt on the pretzel. I had to keep a close eye on these while they were baking, the bottoms came very close to burning. Overall, they are pretty good, not mall pretzels exactly, but I would definitely make them again!
