Weekends are long, especially as temperatures drop and we’re stuck inside all day. What better way to stay busy (and warm) than rolling up the sleeves and making some homemade pretzels? The head baker is admittedly strict and the apprentice only had to leave and wash his hands three times during the process (and be told to get his nose out of the mixing bowl, even if he had never smelled yeast before). Our final product tasted like it was bought from a mall, only three times larger, softer and chewier, thanks to our lazy kneeders (it’s tiring by hand!). But really, warm dough, melted butter and salt? What more could any person ask for.

Here’s the one I used most recently 🙂 The secret to getting so thick and doughy is to be lazy and kneed for like, 3 minutes, by hand 🙂
