How to Make Pretzels. (or how not to make them, anyway...)

Hey, Peeps.


SOOOOOOO.......I just wanted to clarify a few things here real quick. About pretzels.

Spelt Flour

1.  When you decide to make pretzels with you little brothers, make sure that you have wheat flour. Spelt flour doesn't work. Just so we all know.




2. Be sure that you have other necessary ingredients  (Such as, sugar and butter. FYI- Butter is a necessity. I know that for a fact now. Officially.)

A detailed image of the correct "pretzel shape".
Side Note:  this is not my pretzel.
This one looks beautiful.
Mine does not. 

3. When forming the dough into the "pretzel shape",
it is often good to remember things like:
dough often rises and expands in the oven.

Also for the benefit of the reader,
 I have included a picture of a very burnt pretzel.
Another side note:
this pretzel isn't mine either..just so we all know..

4. When making pretzels, it is often helpful (and beneficial to the eater) to remember that you put them in the oven. Evidently almost burnt pretzels are not delightful. Who knew?


On that note, I believe I shall return to my Astronomy and Jason Castro music.... ☺
