This sounds amazing. I remember going to our local Walmart where they had an Auntie Annie’s Pretzel store. I would stop in, purchase a pretzel – lightly salted with some cheese sauce and a coke and be on my way to shop for the weeks groceries. Walmart took that store out (“probably for the best” says my waist line) and put in a nail salon. A very sad day… So, I have to try these… luckily for me, I bought yeast today!
Is there anything more tempting that the smell of hot pretzels wafting through the air during a trip to the mall? It’s probably a good thing that those stores stay in the mall and don’t have a drive-through or I would be making a few too many visits. Last week, however, I had a sudden craving, but couldn’t decide which was stronger: my desire for hot pretzels or my reluctance to put on pants.
So, I did want any reasonable person would do: I sent Husband to the grocery store and made pretzels with my sister at home.
And they were amazing.
Here’s what you do:
- Combine 1 package quick action yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups plain flour, and 2 cups bread flour in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons melted butter with 1 1/2 cups lukewarm
