These are the BEST giant soft pretzels I've ever made! Ok, it's not like I make giant pretzels all the time, but I have made them before and because they haven't turned out as amazing as I expected, I gave up. Then I discovered this recipe, and homemade giant soft pretzels are now everything I've ever dreamed of...try it for yourself.
Auntie Ann’s Pretzels
1 1/2 c. warm water
2 T brown sugar
1 1/8 tsp salt
2 c. bread flour
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/8 tsp yeast
2 T baking soda
2 c. warm water
2 T melted butter
coarse salt or
cinnamon & sugar
Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar & salt, stir to dissolve. Add flour and knead dough until smooth. Let rise 1/2 hour.
Prepare warm water & baking soda, stirring often.
After dough has risen, pull off handfuls and roll into a long rope about 1/2 inch or less thick and shape. Dip pretzel into soda solution & place on a greased baking sheet. Allow pretzel dough to rise once more.
Remove from oven and coat with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt, cinnamon & sugar, or any topping your heart desires!
Bake: 10 min. @ 450˚ Makes approx. 8-10 pretzels

Those are awesome soft pretzels! Nice work! Can't wait to try them out! I've never heard of bread flour... guess that shows what level of cook/baker I am! :) Okay... let's get the details... are you prego?? On April 10th you said, "Can't wait for Elliott to be a big sister" and then in the last post Pat was holding your stomach... ARE YOU? Maybe this isn't new news, but I haven't read it on your blog yet! By the way, I totally agree! Easter is MUCH more fun with kids!
