Last week, I started trying out a few different recipes from all over the world. However, most of the recipes I will be sharing with you are from America. These recipes are some that we are accustomed to and most-likely have tasted before. The recipe I would like to
share with you today is the traditional Soft Pretzels that you have probably had
at Auntie Anne’s pretzels. You can leave your pretzels plain, or experiment
with different stuffing and toppings. Some stuff you could stuff in your pretzels
are; chocolate chips, cheese, pepperoni, sauce, etc… Some stuff you can add on
top of your pretzels are; salt, cinnamon sugar, butter, etc… When I tried
making these pretzels the first time, it didn’t turn out so great. I didn’t keep
them in the oven long enough and the chocolate in the pretzels came out because
I did not seal them up very well. When I tried making them a second time, they
turned out fantastic. They were perfectly cooked in the oven and had the
perfect amount of chocolate, cheese, pepperoni, and salt. When I tasted my different
flavored pretzels, it was wonderful. They were deliciously tasty; soft on the
inside and a little crunchy on the outside. It was also a lot of fun to make my
pretzels, trying out new combinations in my pretzels. Here is the recipe in
case you want to try making your own soft pretzel!
