TRADITIONAL SOFT PRETZELS
Last Christmas I was given a pretzel machine, similar to a George Forman grill but the plates are designed for pretzels. The book had this recipe in it and boy does it make great pretzels. If you are a fan of Auntie Ann's Pretzels then this is the recipe for you.

Steps:
- 1. Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve.
- 2. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic.
- 3. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
- 4. While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 tbsp. baking soda. Stir often.
- 5. After dough has risen, roll out dough and shape into pretzel shapes.
- 6. Dip pretzels into baking soda solution and place onto preheated cooking plates (or a cookie sheet for the oven)
- 7. Place in oven (or pretzel maker) for 5-7 minutes on about 400 degrees (less if you like softer). Remove each pretzel and brush with melted butter.
- 8. After you brush with butter try sprinkling with sea salt. To make sweet pretzels, melt a stick of butter in a shallow bowl (big enough to fit the entire pretzel) and in another shallow bowl make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Then dip the pretzel into the butter, coating both sides generously. Then dip again into the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
