These are delicious and soooo easy (though I did have a little problem making the pretzel shape). I used 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour with 1.5 of all purpose flour, and threw in a little bit of wheat germ. The texture is fantastic. I will make a double recipe next time!

Well - I just reviewed this recipe about two weeks ago but I realised that my review wasn't really helpful to anyone that hasn't got a bread machine or done a great deal of breadmaking. This produces the most lovely pretzels...I have made the recipe 5 times in two weeks!!! I mixed the sugar and yeast with just-warm water (one part hot to three parts cold) and let it sit for ten minutes until the yeast was really foamy.I put the flour, salt and oil in my benchmixer (could easily be mixed in a bowl and then kneaded for ten minutes)then I added the yeast mixture to the flour.I mixed it on low speed for five minutes then left the dough for 40-50 minutes until it was doubled in size. I continued then from step 4. My whole family loves this recipe...they are wonderfully soft and sort of chewy....the dough,when cooked, is awesome.I'm getting to be quite an expert at rolling them and don't need to wet my hands anymore. Totally love the recipe and can see myself making these pretzels forever.lol. Thanks KimmieOH

These pretzels are wonderful and fairly easy to make. The hardest part for me was trying to form the pretzel into shape. I absolutely loved them and will be using the recipe frequently.
