The Bees Make Soft Pretzels, Part 1

Are you a fan of soft pretzels?  I am.  This is a great soft pretzel recipe.  The best part is your child can help make these.  Let's start with the ingredients...
 

1 package yeast
4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 egg
Coarse salt to sprinkle on pretzels 

To begin mix together the yeast, water, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.  Bumble helped stir this...


Then, let it sit for a few minutes to see if the yeast are alive and kickin'!  You'll be able to tell! Next, stir in one cup of flour.  By the way, this recipe is much more fun to make wearing a princess crown and pajamas!


After that, stir in the remaining cups of flour. 

 
 The last cup may need kneaded in if it gets too hard to stir.  Bumble thought kneading was fun!


After the last cup of flour is kneaded in continue kneading until a ball is formed...


Now comes another fun part. Turning this lump of dough into shapes!  You can make any shapes you want, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see what shapes Bumble and I made. I know, I know. Princess Bumble is not happy about this either!
