Pretzel Squishing

Last Sunday we were all feeling a little under the weather. Max has had this gnarly cough for weeks now (two antibiotics later and I think we're finally getting it cleared up) and Lia was just acting gnarly so we stayed home and just bummed around for the day. It was raining and gloomy and a great day to cook and bake and just relax. So I decided to make homemade soft pretzels. And let me tell you, they were AWESOME!!! I didn't think they were that hard to make, but I could see how some people might find it time consuming. Max loved it. He kept making different shapes and then squishing up the dough again and making new ones. He loved it. I'll definitely be making these again.

You basically have to mix, let it rise, twist them, boil them and bake them. The recipe I used is HERE. Next I want to try flavored pretzels. Maybe chocolate chip ones? Anyway, they were really fun to make and really tasty to eat!
