SuperCapes for SuperKids!: Muffin Tin Monday- Pretzels!
Today we had a play group at our house. We made homemade pretzels (yum!) and had Muffin Tin Monday as well. We had one tin filled with fruit and veggies and other "dip-able" items, and the other tin filled with dips for the pretzels or fruit. There was marinara sauce, cheese sauce, salt, and cinnamon/sugar. I forgot that I also had ranch dip. Oh well! It was a hit! Pretzel recipe is below with photos of our creations.
After dough has risen, cut into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 3 foot rope about pencil thin. Twist into a pretzel shape and place on parchment covered cookie sheets to rise 15 to 20 minutes.
Combine 5 cups warm water and the baking soda in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the pretzels in the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place back on the parchment (I used a handled strainer like you use to deep fry. A slotted spoon or tongs would work well, too).
Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with coarse salt, garlic salt or cinnamon sugar.
Yum! We did pretzels once at playgroup but these look better! I'm printing this!
I just stumbled across your blog today and I'm so glad I did. So much inspiration here! I'll be linking to your freezer paper tutorial today, not to mention adding you so I don't miss a thing!
Mmmm...these look great...I saw Alton Brown make pretzels recently and they looked waaay out of my cooking ability league...this recipe makes it look less intimidating though!
Those look good. Thanks for the recipe.
I know you posted this like a year ago, but I wanted to tell you that I made them and they were so awsome! Awesome recipe! Thanks!
