    I found these good but instead of the bath he called for I used non-diastatic malt powder (King Arthur Flour and sugar, the same as they use for bagels. They turned out well and went quickly.

    This was much easier than I thought it would be after seeing it on the show--with patience, this is very easy to get right and it pays off. My dough took a long time to rise--but the warming drawer on my oven sped things up nicely. Will definitely make again.

    These homemade soft pretzels are outstanding BUT I'm glad that I watched this episode of "Good Eats" because the online recipe is missing a crucial step. After the dough rises and you roll it out and put in on the baking sheets, the recipe says to then drop the pretzels into the boiling water/baking soda mixture. That is incorrect - first you must bake the pretzels for about 14 minutes and then drop them in the boiling water mixture, brush on the egg yolk mixture, salt and then bake a second time for 10-14 minutes. Hope this helps someone who is trying to make these and not getting the desired results.

    Once again AB knocks it out of the park, a wonderful recipe easy as advertised. Makes a better pretzel than you can buy at the ball park or the mall.

    These were easy to make and delish - this would be a great recipe to make with your children. I will definitely do this again.

    I went ahead and used a lye dip for these, and they were fantastic. Almost as good as I had on a recent trip to Bavaria. All in all a very easy recipe even for an inexperienced baker like me.
    Watching the show definitely helped me with the flatten-roll-stretch-knot steps.

    I'm thinking of trying this with a rye flour blend next to see if I can get a bit more of that central european flavor.

    Although I trust Mr. Brown's recipes implictly, I was still a little surprised that these pretzels tasted EXACTLY the same as a purchased soft pretzel. They were very easy to make and truly delicious! I had to use kosher salt because I have not yet received my "pretzel salt" that I ordered online. They were still terrific, but I can hardly wait to make them again with the correct salt topping. Just another great recipe in a long line of superior recipes from AB!
