I've made this recipe several times, and I'm getting ready to make it again at the request of my daughters. Each time these pretzels have turned out wonderfully; soft with the perfect chewy texture. I'm sorry I spent so much money over the years buying pretzels at the mall when making them at home is so easy and yields such superior results.
Unrelated to my experience with this recipe, I wish reviewers would stick to reviewing the recipe and not their unfortunate experiences with the ingredients of the recipe. If the recipe as written doesn't work for you, then by all means let others know, but please don't give a low rating because an ingredient you purchased didn't perform as expected.

Total failure. I tried Fleischmannn's Active Dry yeast and Fleischmann's Rapid Rise and neither would rise for me. I went through six packets and none of them worked! I followed the instructions and failure every time. The expiration dates are not until next year. Can anyone recommend a store bought yeast that it's a total rip off? I'm so angry that I wasted my time trying this and all I got was garbage.

Such a great recipe! The recipe was straight forward and easy. The only issue I had was even though I oiled the baking sheet the pretzels still stuck and it ruined the backs of many of them. In the future I will forgo to the parchment paper..

These are as easy as they look and taste great. Couldn't find pretzel salt in my local store but found course sea salt works equally well. But pretzel salt can be easily found online. I make these almost once a week now, for movie night, they are so good and easy.

Made these just for fun for my granddaughters birthday. We have a big family so I made three batches! There was only one left at the end of the party. I know I can always rely on a recipe from Alton Brown,

I thought this would be complicated, however Alton showed how easy it is to make soft pretzels
My pretzels came out great and tasty. I followed his direction exactly. Nobody can 't say these pretzels are not delicious.

I have wanted to make these for a very long time and finally did today. Perfection. They taste just like the street vendors in NYC that I grew up on. So easy to make . I followed the directions and was pleasantly surprised.

All of the previous reviews are spot on. Absolutely incredible. A bit of a process the first time you make them but not hard and well worth it. My only advice would be once you form the pretzel, make sure you really secure the ends of the dough. I just lightly pinched the ends and a few fell apart when i put them in the simmering water. Trying to reshape them was a challenge. Those didn't come out so pretty but they still tasted great.
