I like whenever we can make something ourselves that we'd normally buy - and I love it when that thing we make is absolutely better than the thing we'd normally buy. Pretzels are 100% better fresh out of your own kitchen. And they're pretty easy to make, to boot. So easy, in fact, that my husband (who isn't known to do much in the kitchen) just decided to up and make them the other night. Out of the blue.
These guys, pictured above, were made using a pretty standard recipe from TwoPeasAndTheirPod.com that we've stuck with for some time now, but we opted to use thyme from our garden instead of the rosemary called for in the recipe. We've used rosemary in the past, and I think I like it even better, but thyme is what we had so thyme is what we used. Deelish.
We didn't make the cheese sauce that goes with these in the recipe, and as a matter of fact, we've never actually made that sauce. But I talk about it and one day, I'll probably get around to it. The thing is that once you take these out of the oven you're pretty much done for the day. The smell of freshly baked pretzels is intoxicating - and they usually lead to a tall pint. Intoxication attracts intoxication, I guess!
Enjoy making these - you'll totally love them.
