Soft pretzels are my favorite anytime snack. I love these things so much but I get tired of buying the frozen kind and hoping that they turn out ok. I really love getting pretzels at ballparks and stadiums but I can’t very well run to a stadium every time I have a craving, so I am glad that I found this amazing soft pretzel recipe. If you love soft pretzels then you are definitely going to want to check this one out.

Any good pretzel takes some time to make. These take about an hour and a half, but they are very well worth the time. This traditional German treat is really easy to make – you spend most of the prep time waiting for the dough to rise. You did know that good pretzels are boiled in water, right? That means that these are also a much healthier snack alternative to potato chips, and you can make eight pretzels with every batch. You can even freeze them for later if you want. And be sure to check out this amazing homemade guacamole that goes great with homemade pretzels.

Seriously, if you love pretzels, then you are going to love this recipe. The pretzels are really simple, and they make the most wonderful snacks. These are great for game nights, or anytime you want a delicious snack. And, if you are planning a trip to the stadium, you could even take along your own homemade pretzels and make the other sports fans jealous. These work really well for appetizer night, too. Serve them alongside these zucchini balls at your next party.
