After seeing some awesome threads on pretzels. And different ways to make them. I gave my hand at it. I buy those little mini pretzel things from AuntieAnne's once in awhile from the service stations along the thruway or at malls. And sometimes they were fresh and tasty. Other times they tasted like, and they probably were, under a heat lamp for 6 hours. So here goes.
Got a pack of mini hot dogs. And a bag of ready made fresh pizza dough.
Wrapped the little guys with 2 wraps of dough and pinched closed. Got 5 cups of water boiling. And added 1/4 cup of baking soda. For a second there I thought I was going to have a explosion. man, did that foam up! Added them in small batches for 30 seconds. Then brushed with egg. And sprinkled sea salt on them.
Put in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Had with a side of sweet and spicy mustard. This was very good. Much better then I've ever had. For the first time with making this. And pretzels. I really think I'll be making my own pretzels from now on. It is quite easy.
