These soft pretzels are a more artisanal departure from the pretzels we are used to getting at ballparks and from street vendors. Guy uses whole wheat flour which gives these pretzels a more dense and chewy texture, so if you're looking for a less dense pretzel, try substituting the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour. When it comes time to rest and proof your pretzels don't be afraid to let them sit a little longer so they are puffier; depending on the time of year, the temperature in your kitchen may vary.
