Soft Pretzels

Chef notes

As a kid, there was nothing quite like a warm, soft pretzel bought on a street corner or, most often, at some sort of sporting event. Whether it's dipped in mustard or a cheesy sauce, soft pretzels are always a hit, especially if you make them yourself!

Technique tip: Make sure not to over-knead the dough, or you'll have dense pretzels. A silicone baking mat will ensure your pretzels don't stick to your baking sheet.

Swap option: You could make these whole wheat pretzels by using whole wheat flour, or you could add cinnamon sugar instead of salt at the end to make them sweet.
