The Pretzelmaker

Mike made a special treat for us yesterday - homemade soft pretzels.  In general, he likes to make things that involve yeast:  wine, beer, bread.  Those are his specialties.

Pretzels are not that difficult to make, but involve a few more steps than your average bread product.  First you mix the dough:

Then you roll it:

Then you form it:

Then you boil it:

Then you drip it:

Then you dress it:

Then you bake it:

Then you dip it in jalapeno cheese sauce and honey dijon mustard and enjoy it so much you forget to take a picture.

Mmm, pretzels!  Here is a link to the recipe if you want to try it at home.
