I fell in love with the pictures on Cream Puffs in Venice: The Month of Bread: Perfect Pretzels and decided to try out the Pretzels.
I read about Pretzels here and was intrigued by its history, significance and associated legends. To me Pretzel now stands for a warm satiating Sunday breakfast cuddled in an arm chair in my sit out with a newspaper and a large masala tea.
I have tried the hard, soft and the chewy pretzels. The dough is the same only the baking time is increased in the order lowest for soft, longer for chewy and longest for hard. My favorite the chewy kind. The design too varies for shaping the pretzel. I think a double twist looks prettier.
I love the Pretzel's chewy, sweet n salty taste and above all they are absolutely fat free. Plus they look oh so pretty!
Go try them right away.

ReplyDeleteBee lookin forward to your healthiest.
Anita I'm happy you liked it. I tried your whole wheat bread. It is very fragrant and delicious. But it didn't leaven like the white because I kneaded the dough in the morning after the all night rise and did not keep for second rise. I was hungry ;) and impatient. Gonna try again.
