Making pretzels

Today we made pretzels for the first time!

This is the first pretzel I have ever "tied". Ever. (Before baking.) Aren't you impressed? ;)

Here's how to do it:

First roll the dough into long snaky strips.



Then take one and cross it over as shown.

Wrap it around once.



Fold it down.



Then we dipped it in a weird mixture of water, egg whites, and baking soda.

Slimy. ;)

Sprinkle on a little salt, and they're ready to bake!

Mmmm. :)



Have you tried anything new lately?
