Pretzels with a Twist!


I decided to have fun with snacks and the kids last week and I found a soft pretzel recipe my friend Amanda had given me. So we made the dough and shaped it into letters. Here we are with our pretzels!

D is for Dad


M is for Mom (Evan took this picture..it's like the 12th shot because he kept cutting off my head:)


B is for Benjamin


M was for Matthew


E is for Evan


J is for Jacob

Someone asked for the recipe so here it is along with a link to the cute story that went with it (http://lds.about.com/library/weekly/aa091802a.htm).

Homemade Pretzels by Paige Holden

1 Tbsp. dry yeast
3/4 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

2 c. flour
1 egg, beaten
Coarse salt
Wax paper

Mix yeast in warm water. Add sugar and salt. Add flour and mix. Put dough on wax paper and knead until soft. Cut off pieces and shape as you like (too thick = doughy, too thin = brittle). Place them on a cookie sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse salt. Bake at 425° for 12 to 15 minutes.
