Hi Friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe for homemade soft pretzels has been a favorite of ours since way back in 2013. I tend to make them a few times a year and now I’ve taught my kids how to make them as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re perfect for tailgating, parties, etc! They’re also mildly addicting so be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I make them, I use either all-purpose flour, or half bread flour\/half all-purpose flour. I’ve tried using some white whole wheat flour but don’t like them as much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
