I changed this a little and came out ok.. I did not add salt to yeast mixture I waited until flour. In pan of water I added teaspoon of baking soda. I did not let the dough rise and I think can out better then the original recipe I tried first.

I didn't like them, either. I agree they tasted like hard bread.

I can't believe all these rave reviews! Makes me think I did something wrong. The recipe was easy and fun to make, but after all the effort and time, I was sorely disappointed. They just tasted like hard bread. I prefer Newman's pretzels - at least they taste like something.

This recipe is terrific! Not too hard if you have the time to think about making them. I used whole wheat flour and they came out tasting great. I also used Kosher coarse salt for the pretzel salt and skipped the parchment paper. My pretzels didn't come out as pretty as those in the picture--but came out pretty close to pretty! I made small bite size ones, long skinny ones and well--all different sizes. My kids can't get enough of them!

My pretzels didn't look like the photo, I made them much smaller. We got a huge bag from this recipe that will last us 2 weeks! (Even though the recipe says good for 1, we'll see...

I used regular salt and had the other ingredients in my kitchen, minus the parchment paper. I also used egg substitute and that worked fine. I am going to make these instead of buying pretzels from now on. I like that I know what is going into them. Plus, the taste is really quite good. Much better than store-bought. Really nice!

These are the best pretzels we've ever had - "the best in the world" says our 6 year old daughter! "We love Alton Brown" chant our kids! We made these pretzels with the kids and they loved cooking them and eating them (with mustard and hot dogs, sauerkraut and beans for a Bavarian treat dinner! We used course sea salt to sprinkle on top because we couldn't find pretzel salt and it worked just great. We love you Alton Brown!!!!

I have made AB's "soft" pretzels several times and they are just wonderful - always gone in a few minutes! So I thought I would try the "hard" version, as well. They are very good, too! As with the soft version, they are very easy to make. I would definitely make these again, but we are all really hooked on the soft ones!
