pretzel logic

So my little sister was here with her friend last week and wouldn’t you know that I learned something new from those two! Homemade soft pretzels! I needn’t go on really because who doesn’t love those? I know that I have your attention just by saying the words.

Well in the interest of completeness, I’ll add that the recipe that I love is from smitten kitchen (not surprising)  you should try it. It’s not too tedious so don’t be intimidated. The boiling is an extra step but a very simple one, certainly nothing that you could really screw up. I did two things differently than the recipe:
1. I eliminated the egg wash, it doesn’t change the flavor and I didn’t care about having the crust look shiny
2. I brushed the pretzels with a little bit of melted butter when they came out of the oven. Not traditional, I know but it added a nice flavor to them.

And now for the money shot:
