I want you to know I try to refrain from overusing exclamation marks. But pretzels and cinnamon rolls get me a little bit excited. I’d been thinking of a few different ways I want to use my favorite homemade soft pretzel dough, and – obviously – this is the one I start with. I am a serious soft pretzel addict (aren’t you?!). Though I insisted I didn’t like crunchy pretzels until someone made me cookies with pretzels in them. Now I totally get what all the hype is about! Are you a sweet pretzel person or a salty pretzel person? I always go for the caramel sauce at the mall, but partly because I don’t like cheese sauce, or mustard, or ranch, or any of those other things they probably offer. In other news, I think I need to start eating more food that isn’t brown. But the day I made these was such a gray, rainy day…. and I’d been dreaming of making some pretzel bites like this for so long…. And I couldn’t resist. You understand, right? I promise I’m going to have more light and no-bake recipes coming for Swimsuit Season. But even Swimsuit Season has its share of cold, gray, rainy days (at least where I am!), and you just might find yourself longing for something warm, and chewy, and cinnamony, and glaze-drizzly. Or you can just keep them in your back pocket until the cool fall weather hits and dig them out when you get the urge. Metaphorically speaking, I mean. You wouldn’t actually stuff your pockets full of pretzels, would you? Find bread machine instructions here. Create an account easily save your favorite content, so you never forget a recipe again.
