pretzels and vests

after having a decent time making bagels, i decided to try making soft pretzels. the setup is basically the same: make some dough, shape it, boil, then bake.

i used a pretty simple recipe that i pulled out of a martha stewart kids magazine a handful of years ago. i can’t find exact recipe to link to online, and there’s no date on any of the magazine pages, so i can’t reference a specific issue. looks like this recipe is close enough, and i’m sure there are a million other recipes posted elsewhere.

i made some with just salt, and some with onion, sesame seeds, salt and pepper. those were extra delicious.

next time, i’m going to plan ahead and whip up a batch of homemade mustard for dippin’.

in other news, i made another vest!
