Edible Activities: Pretzels

Today we made PRETZELS

Since we were unable to buy pretzels at the mall the other week, I had promised my children that "some time" we'd make them "from scratch" "like Grandma did when I was a little".

Today turned into that day!

I went online, and chose a recipe

http://strothotte.com/pretzels.php

There were helpers to assemble the dough.. then we watched a PBS Show while we let the dough rise (in a warm oven so it wouldn't take all day), then we had dough-fun of assembling pretzels, pretzel knots etc. (Oh, and of course, all little helper hands enjoyed nibbling on the dough!)

It turned out "o.k.", next time I'll try a different recipe out there. But, it wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be!

Jehiah and I made pretzels last month or so... we used an auntie ann's box and they turned out really good. The box was super cheap, on sale at someplace in annapolis and we figured, why not try?
