Oh, the smell of a freshly baked pretzel! You know, when you go to the mall and walked by Auntie Anne’s… the smell of those pretzels is like a magnet. Well, if I am being honest I haven’t been to the mall in years and guess what? I have one less reason to go, I can make Soft Pretzels at home! who knew??

I made these pretzels thinking about my oldest girl, she looooves pretzels. Ever since she was a little baby they are her favorite snack of all time. She was trilled when she saw them coming out of the oven.

Pretzels are fairly easy to make, don’t let them intimidate you. I think the hardest thing, if anything at all is to achieve the perfect pretzel shape. I mean, who is looking for perfection anyway? These are homemade pretzels, they are incredibly amazing not perfect.

Does anybody go to the mall anymore?

These pretzels were inspired by Alton Brown’s Soft Pretzels recipe.
