I love my bread machine! So, very, very much. She makes all sorts of yummy for me. I love it when I can get my kiddo involved in the process. Because I enjoy being Mrs. Awesome Snack Mom we decided to break out this treat when we had friends over.
Put the following in the bread machine in this order:
Set it to the dough cycle and let it work its magic.
When you hear the beep run to your bread machine and with floured, cleaned hands and a floured surface let your kids sculpt, shape and mold.
Meanwhile add 8 cups of water and 1/2 cup of baking soda in a large saucepan. Let it come to a boil. Drop the pretzel shapes into the boiling baking soda water for 10 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with some Kosher salt and pop it in a 325 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Watch the excited little faces as they see their browned beauties emerge from the oven.
This is a great idea. I have a bread machine that I haven't used in about I think 8 years. 🙁 Maybe I should dig it out and do this fun recipe. And are these the Anderson's kids by chance?

This looks fun. I like to make pretzels w/the kids around Easter since (supposedly) they began around Easter & remind us for arms folded in prayer.
We've never dipped'um in boil bs water before… does that make'um brown nicely? We're gunna try it next month.
Thanks!
My girls LOVE pretzels…what a great idea. 🙂 We use our bread machine for sandwich bread all the time–never tried this before. 🙂
Just wanted to tell you how delightful today was!!! It was such a pleasure getting to know you and Sarah. Thank you again for your hospitality. It was a truly wonderful time.
Cheers~
