Thanks, do you have to boil them first, like bagels? This says you boil them.

Have any of you master bakers ever made pretzels (the german kind, all soft inside)? I'm wondering whether they are difficult/involved. I went past a german bakery and forgot to go in (they had a pretzel on their sign) and now I'm craving pretzels.

I have made pretzels. They are very tasty!

I am working on the pretzel recipe now. I might do some butter and cinnamon sugar too! I will also make regular so a 50\50 split

going to try them but not sure when the guys want my cheesecake for the 4th again

The pretzels are great!
I had fun tying them into shape



Half of them have salt and half have cinnamon sugar. The first tray was a cookie sheet with sides. They did not get as brown of a bake on them:

The second tray is much darker and a bit crispier:

They are worth making for sure!
