These were amazing, they didn't take that long (ignoring that I had to remake the dough because the first batch was hard to mix and super dense). The soda bath isn't that hard. And they taste amazing. All I can say is eat them when they come out of the oven, they cooled down quick and were not nearly as good the day after. It makes 12 pretzels about the size of your palm, so invite friends over.
