no. not my bank. nothing to do with banks really.
today was my first attempt to make pretzels. sounds easy right? it is and it isnt.
they taste great, but i rolled them a bit too big... i mean, i let them sit too long before popping them in the hot box. the yeast made them rise too much before they hit the oven. they didnt quite cook right.
... and i need to find some actual pretzel salt. the large grain Kosher salt wasnt big enough. i dint get the texture i wanted.
live and learn.
anyone else make pretzels at home? tips? thoughts? suggestions?

We did used to make donuts when I was a kid.
Question: are you trying to make the big softies? Also, do you have a recipe you could share, as I'd like to give this a whirl some time?
p.s. I always preferred the hard ones... But every now and then I would get a soft one that was a giver... and that is also thoroughly enjoyable
I can work out all my problems and craziness right here!
