Pretzels!!

Hi! So here's a recipe for Pretzels!! Not just any pretzel, either... Soft Pretzels!!! =D

If you're interested, keep reading!!




Ingredients [All Approx.]
-1 cup of flour
-1/2 cup of water
-Salt
-Melted Butter

When you mix everything here, but the butter together.. It should be fairly sticky, but doughy. And if you drop it of a spoon- It shouldn't fall easily, and it shouldn't look really wet either. [Ah hah.. so bossy, eh? ]

Once thats done.. Take some parchment paper, and set it down, unless you want your cutting board to get really stick! ; )

You spread a heaping tablespoon of flour on it.. And drop a tablespoon [agan, heaping] of the dough onto it, mix it up [kind of] and knead it, I guess. = P Now, roll/stretch into a lonnnnngg oblong shape. It won't really roll, so just pull/stretch it carefully.

Now, form into a pretzel shape, place on pan [Stove-Pan, not a StoveTop-Pan] and using a brush [You know, like a barbecue-type brush?] spread the melted butter over the "Pretzel", and bake/cook it, on 350 degrees, for 8-10 minutes. This way, it will soft, but light coloured. Not a problem! Still tastes good.

Once its done.. Remove from oven [obviously.. ],  flip it over and spread butter on it [To "erase" the flour on the bottom], flip it upright, place on plate. Spread more butter on it. And sprinkle salt on it. And voila! You have your pretzel.

This is not the exact recipe, but its mine. = )  And I've come to share it with you. =D

Tip: You can also use this exact same dough-mix, and make pan-bread.

What you do.. Is make the dough, no flour to roll it in though.. And just scoop it all into a pan [Stovetop pan x ) .. ]  and cook it. I can't say how long, but yeah. You do have to flip it though. = )  And once you're done.. Put LOTTTS of butter on it, or it'll taste a little odd. ; )

Enjoy!!
