Yesterday you learned how to make the dough for our soft pretzels. Now we are going to make shapes with the dough. Your child can help with this part as well. Here Bumble is rolling the dough with her hands..
You can make a standard boring pretzel shape...
or something interesting! Can you tell what it is?
A bee. You are correct. Here is something to go with the bee. A hive made by Bumble...
Bumble also made this snake with no help from mommy. I was amazed at how real it looked!
Now that we have all our shapes on a cookie sheet, we need to beat one egg and brush it on the dough. Then sprinkle the pretzels with coarse salt.
Bake your pretzels at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. As tempting as they are, please wait 3-4 hours after they have finished baking until you eat your pretzels. They need a while to sit and cool to get that yummy soft pretzel flavor. If you eat these right away you will be missing out on a great pretzel. Lets see how our pretzels turned out. Here is the Bee family buzzing around the hive...
and here is Bumble's snake. Yikes!
I will definitely do this recipe again with Bumble. We had fun creating these as well as eating them. Honey also wants us to make these again. He loved them!
