Giant Soft Pretzels image

This pretzel recipe came out of a National Geographic kids magazine back in the late 70's. I loved to read and loved spending time in the kitchen making a mess so this recipe is the best of both worlds. They are very easy to make and something fun to do with your kids. You can mix them in either a stand mixer with dough hook...
