Soft Salted Caramel PretzelsThere is truly no better way to start the weekend other than with soft warm homemade pretzels. I know you might be intimidated by the idea of making your own pretzels, but homemade pretzels are easier to make than you may think. I have been making homemade pretzels for about 4 years now and I have to admit, when I first learned how to make them I went a little crazy.. I made them every few days until I got tired. Gave it some time off.Now It’s winter and I love baking warm goodies during the winter.

You Don’t need a mixer for this dough. It’s fairly easy to make and doesn’t require much time or a lot of  ingredients. This recipe makes 5 big pretzels.  If you want to make smaller pretzels cut them dough up into more portions.
