I should still be full from Easter dinner, but after reading your blog I’m hungry all over again! I love pretzels!

Both the buns and the pretzels look amazing and delicious.

If you are looking for another pretzel recipe, the one from King Arthur Flour is wonderful.

Yummy! Steve and I were just watching the Good Eat's Pretzel episode and eating soft pretzels over the weekend (Didn't make them from scratch yet, once my pre-made are gone I'll give it a shot).

One thing he did was to put the pretzels in a bath of boiling water and baking soda for 30 seconds, before baking. That's supposed to give that crunchy exterior but keep the inside soft. I'll have to give it a shot.

Another funny fact that he shared was that Philadelphian's ate 12 times the national average.

So that must prove the fact you're truly Philadelphian :)
