Pretzels are available crisp and hard from your grocery or, if you're lucky and in the right place, soft and chewy from street vendors. Our recipe is for the soft kind, made nicely chewy thanks to the use of King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour. Melted butter brushed over the crust is a bonus street vendors don't offer! Want to make smaller, appetizer-size pretzels? See our instructions for pretzel bites in "tips," below.
