These are wonderful and easy to make. So quick we have them often for supper. I've replaced one cup of the flour with whole wheat flour and they were also great. Couple of tips: 1) Don't cut the kneading time short or the dough will turn to goo when you do the baking soda dunk and 2) I limited the Boil to a 15 second per side dunk and that worked well.

This recipe makes great pretzels! It's best to have at least two people working together, so one can shape the pretzels while the other dips them into the baking soda bath. An afternoon of pretzel-making would be a fun project to do with the kids!

I've tried several of the "Mall Pretzel" recipes but this is the best one yet. Like other reviewers, I did have to put more flour to make it less sticky. I also make 8 pretzels instead of the 6 it calls for. A keeper!

Nice and chewy on the inside, a thin layer of buttery crispiness on the outside. Like a few others I had better luck bathing the pretzels while the water was boiling. Also If you mist the inside of your oven with water just before putting the pretzels in it helps in dryer climates.

The flavor of these was great! We used brown sugar in place of white just because my almost 3yr. old was helping and insisted. Also, I found that after doing the water bath on a few that ones that were in the water just off the stove turned out best. Next time I'll keep the water simmering the whole time. I did need to cook mine an extra 5 minutes but ovens vary. Can't wait to make these again! Thanks for the recipe.

My 10 year old made these for science class and they turned out great. Had to add additional flour like others but followed the recipe exactly. They didn't look pretty - she's only tne but they were great. Reheated them in the toaster oven on the 2nd day and they were great again. Tim, thanks for the recipe. P.S. my daughter was the only student in three years to do pretzels for the project - everybody else did sweets or bread.

The taste was wonderful. This was my first time working with dough however and I can tell its going to take some practice. I used one teaspoon of brown sugar also. I think this would be great as pretzel sticks.

These pretzels tasted great the first day, but by the second they were pretty "blah." The recipe was very easy to follow, except like everyone else I had to add more flour. I think I over-worked the dough, because it was a bit hard to roll without it breaking apart. However, it was easy, and they tasted great the first day. :) I just melted some velvetta (just for consistency), and added shredded cheddar cheese to dip the pretzels in and they were a great snack. I might make again, but only as many as we can eat in a day. Good luck :)

ATTN: CHADANDKATE you wrote "I'm wondering if it's something to do with the 3 tablespoons of baking soda? Should that read teaspoons? And when do I put it in (with the salt?) Really, I was terribly disappointed because I love soft pretzels." The baking soda does not go into bread mix, It is used in the water bath. Add the soda to your water and boil. What I do is boil each pretzel in the pot(placing them top in first)30sec per side. Then I place it topside facing down in a strainer in the sink. I put a little flour on the bottom, and then place on a greased baking sheet. It is at that time I sprinkle salt on the top of the pretzel. ...I saw your post and just had to help, hope you see this

I cooked them on the middle rack for the 8 minutes, just barely a light golden color but not too dark, then brushed the rest of the melted on them before they cooled. These were great and much cheaper than those at the mall, but just as good if not better.

DELICIOUS. I followed the recipe as is and I'm making these for a second night in a row now, and I cannot wait for them to be done. The first batch was gone in less then 10 hours (mind you I made my first batch at midnight!). Last night I did just salt, but tonight I did some salt and then some brown sugar, I'm hoping they come out as amazing as they did last night.

My 4 yr old helped make these. I would not mold into pretzel shapes or loops again. I got a much better crust when I made sticks. Not too hard on the outside and soft on the inside. I needed an extra cup of flour to work with the dough. Our family prefers the sweeter topped pretzels so I am not sure if I will make these again.

Yummy! I agree they are better straight out of the oven. However my dh and I were able to enjoy them for a couple of days by warming them up in the microwave. The recipe was easy to follow even though I have never made anything like this before. Thanks!

The pretels were really good - I made them for an Oktoberfest party and got a lot of compliments. I had to add a lot of extra flour to the dough - it was too sticky to work with after adding just the stated amount in the recipe. I worked the dough by hand. I had to use a spatula to take the pretzels out of the water bath - they were a little easy to fall apart at that stage, but it got easier the more I did. It took a lot longer than the stated time - mostly due to having to keep adding more flour and the learning curve in shaping the pretzels - next time I might make "stix" instead of the traditional shape. Would probably go a lot faster the 2nd time around.
