Tried and True Tuesday...Soft Pretzels

We had so much fun making soft pretzels when the kids were sick last week. 
The recipe begins by putting the things below in my bread maker

1 (1/4 ounce) package dry active yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

3 cups flour

1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

Divide dough into 4 parts.  Each part will make 3 pretzels.  

Take the dough and roll it into long ropes to make pretzel shaped (Chelsea made hers into hearts...love that kid).  

Dip each pretzel into 2 quarts water boiling with 1/3 cup baking soda for about 10 seconds a side. 

The bake in a 425 degree oven 4 minutes per side.  

Yum!
