  1. I recently became the snack Mom for my sons Army Cadet troop on Tuesdays. I found your recipe & decided to give it a go; so glad I did.<br/>I used my bread machine on the dough setting; adding 3 cups of all purpose flour. I made a few batches. My sons troop is 35 &, because my son not realizing they were for cadets, ate 6 while I was out of the kitchen. lol I did make them a little smaller. I did half the pretzels with cinnamon sugar and the other half I made into Pizza pretzels. Leaving out the raisins, I mixed up spaghetti sauce with Italian seasoning. I brushed onto pretzels and sprinkled Kraft Parmesan powder & a few pieces of shaved Parmesan on top. This turned out wonderful to satisfy everyone's tastes. My son brought home an empty platter and said they were a huge hit!! Thank you for a keeper in my recipe collection from me & the troop :D
     
  2. This is a great recipe! My kids and I made these today. We followed the directions exactly as written and they came out beautifully (will be posting a picture). They are so fun and easy to make and taste delicious too! Thank you for posting this recipe...we'll be making them often!
     
  3. Those Amish know how to make baked goods! A couple of things I "changed". I used 4 1/2 cups of bread flour, and at the end, after the dipping part (I sprinkled the water mixture on, liberally, instead of dipping), I sprinkled on Cinnamon-sugar mixture onto each pretzel so it baked on. I made them smaller and it made 20 or so. They smell wonderful and puffed up beautifully!
