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

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!
