Soft Pretzels

(MR) So as you may have noticed, I've been out of comission lately, with a badly broken wrist (of course, my right hand!).  

My broken wrist and my son's 3 teeth that got knocked out

But I figured that I have  to do something - I'm getting pretty bored these days.  So I thought we'd try some soft pretzels.  I was inspred by the successful attempt and pictures of a Facebook friend.  And if I can't do it entirely by myself, I have four eager helpers here too!

 

 

My friend had used Martha Stewart's recipe with success, so I headed over there.

It is a fairly simple recipe. And since I can't just leave a recipe the way it is, I substituted half whole wheat flour for the white. Oterwise, I followed the recipe exactly. (After having tried them, I think that it was a bit too much whole wheat.  I'd do a quarter of it next time)

I had help shaping these - almost like play-dough! They were delicious fresh from the oven, and tasted great with soup the next day.

Good luck with the recipe!  And here's hoping that my one-handed typing didn't lead to any typos (even though it took me forever to do!)
