We love this recipe - I found it in a book called "Science you can Eat", and we don't do any rising. Just knead, shape and bake! Not to yeasty, not to floury - just right!

I first learned how to make this in the 3rd grade. I lost the recipe over the years and was glad to find it again! A couple of options for variety: add cinnamon to a buttered top or parmesan cheese. It's just like the stuff you buy at Costco!

Well, these were wonderful! Very quick & easy to prepare the dough, which took about 30 minutes to rise. They came out soft and light and very tasty. If you have never made pretzels before, they can be a little tricky to twist into the correct shape, but they are very fun and even the lopsided looking ones looked & tasted delicious once baked.

I am little. I mean I am a kid and I love to cook. This was so easy to make. I think you should stretch out the doughwhile moding itinto a pretzel. This was a great recipe but had a little to much flour. Try cinnamon and sugar on top.

Why to buy Pretzels, when you can make them on your own with this recipe? These Pretzels, or Bretzel as they are called in Germany, are so easy to make and the outcome is wonderful. And they are for sure best eaten hot. The only difficulty was to bring them into the form of Pretzels. If you don't care about their form, try sticks or rolls - much easier to make, but as tasty as Pretzels. Thank Mimi Bibeck for ths wonderful recipe. From now on my Bretzel will be homemade.

Making pretzels sounds intimidating, but this recipe was really easy and made a nice light pretzel. I thought the flavor was a little bland and the end result was a bit more bread like than I wanted. I'm still searching for a NY style chewy soft pretzel recipe. I might tinker with this one a bit. Thanks for a great start!

These weren't bad, but not like the chewy ones you get in the malls. I also used some of the dough and wrapped around hot dogs before the second rising. Was a huge hit with the family and they've asked for them that way again.

Replace the 1/2 cup water with half cup melted salted butter, this will give the missing falvor

This was a great, fun recipe. The ratio of flour to water was spot on, I didn't even need to use flour to roll them out. They turned out so well and taste wonderful. What more can I say? Thanks for a recipe that I will use again!

I made these last week and they tasted better than any other recipe that I have tried. The only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am still searching for the perfect pretzel recipe! I want a super soft pretzel like they sell at the mall or at costcos!
