Pretzels
Description
Delicious baked treats for the whole family. These are unsweetened pastries, which means they can be served with soups, as an appetizer, or for breakfast, for example. The pretzels pair wonderfully with sauces (tomato, garlic, or cheese). Plus, they keep well for up to 3 days after baking, so feel free to make a large batch of dough right away :) Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
