Soft Pretzels

I let them rise for 1 hour and had to keep an eye on them and bake for the full 12 minutes. I wish they turned out a little shinier/darker, but otherwise they were sooooo good! Maybe it’s a good idea to sprinkle salt after you brush fresh butter to avoid making them too salty or just to have whoever eating them personalize their salt amounts.

cook at a lower temp

You can also tie them in simple knots instead of the classic pretzel shape. Alternative toppings of garlic or cinnamon sugar are fantastic (skip the sea salt topping in that case)
