A Baking Project With Mom

One day I was watching an episode of Phineas and Ferb, and I got the idea of making pretzels at home.  In the episode Doofenschmirtz told Perry the Platypus a backstory where he was kicked out of pretzel making because he couldn’t make them right.  I decided that it would be fun to make pretzels on my own, so I told my mom, and a few days later we finally got around to it.

We bought the ingredients that we were missing, which were bread flour and yeast.  We found a pretzel recipe, and I put the link at the bottom of this blog post.   Below are the pictures my mom took of the stages in making pretzels.  These pictures tell a story, why don’t you look at them?  I think it was fun rolling the dough snakes and twisting them into pretzels.  I found that I was good at that.  I think that the pretzels were delicious, and that my mom and I should make another batch.

If you want to make pretzels like I did, this is the link to the recipe I used.  I think you will have to do some shopping for some of the ingredients.  I hope that you feel encouraged by all this to make pretzels, and it will be worth it because they will make a tasty snack.
