Beautifully done 😍
Looks fabulous!
Those look amazing. My dad swears you need lye to make them taste like a pretzel. I haven’t ventured into pretzel making yet but these are inspiring.
Yum! They look like nuggets rather than a traditional twist, is that right?
Roll into thin logs and shape – shape how exactly? You fold the thin log into a rectangular prism/cube? Or
Yum. I’m going to try these tomorrow
