This week, I tried making pretzels from a mix I found at Walmart.
It’s from Fleischmann’s (the yeast company), and it’s milk-free, egg-free, and
nut-free. (It does contain soy and wheat, however.) It’s called Fleischmann’s
Simply Homemade Baking Mix Pretzel Creations.
I’ve never made pretzels before, so I didn’t know quite what
to expect. But they were fun to make, didn’t take much in the way of culinary
expertise, and turned out pretty good. (Okay, so maybe they weren’t quite as
perfect and beautiful as on the box, but I’ve never had anything turn out as
good as the photo on the box, so my expectations were pretty realistic!)

It took about an hour to make the pretzels (half of that
time was just letting the dough rise a little), and you just have to add oil
and water – it even comes with its own salt.
These would be fun for younger kids to help with, because
they get to roll out the dough into long snakes and then twist them into
pretzel shapes. So if you’ve got an hour or so and some hungry kids, give them
a try.
