Delicious pretzels!! This recipe is definitely a keeper as a regular game day snack. I don't make the sauce though and the recipe calls for way too much butter to be melted.

Great recipe! I'd suggest adding at least another half cup of flour but otherwise these pretzels were exactly like Auntie Anne's!

These are great! I only used 2 Tbsp of brown sugar, & I omitted the water/baking soda step. I instead just brushed them with melted butter, sprinkled with kosher salt, & baked. They browned very nicely on top & bottom, but were soft inside. Wonderful recipe!!

The only reason these are not getting a 5 star rating is because there is some adjustments that they need to fix. First, you need more flour, about another half cup. Second, you also have to make sure to pat the bottom of them dry after you place them in the soda bath or they will badly stick to the pan, even if it is oiled. Third, the baking time is to long. I checked mine at ten minutes and they had burnt some already. Eight minutes was perfect when I tried it the second time. These look and taste amazing though! This will be a keeper and will be going in my favorite hits recipe book!

I made these pretzels two nights in a row. The second evening i made some changes to the
recipe.

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar works better
6 tablespoons of butter is more than enough.

i tried using a bread machine and the dough came out perfect .Place the ingredients in the breadmachine bowl in this order: milk, sugar, salt .flour then yeast. Run on Dough cycle.

I brought 4 cups of water to a boil in a 4 1/2 quart dutch oven and added
1/2 cup baking soda . i then shut off the burner and placed the pretzels, one at a time, in the water . i removed the pretzels with a large slotted spoon and placed them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. i used a 425 degree oven. i dipped the pretzels in unsalted butter while they were hot out of the oven. i really love this recipe. THank you

They turned out well but 2 1/4 cups of flour was not enough so I used 3 cups.

This is hands down the best pretzel recipe I have tried and it is quite easy. I think these pretzels taste better than Auntie Anne's. Finally, a fantastic recipe. PS I baked the pretzels on a pizza stone. I don't know if it made a difference since it was my first time but they are outstanding.

Delish! I simply ran a stick of butter over the pretzels straight out of the oven and let it melt down over them rather than use 8 tbs of melted butter and dip the pretzels in it (WHAT A WASTE! I saved a ton of butter, not to mention calories and it was just as tasty!
