What I also love to use is the bread maker my family got me 2 holidays ago. Yes they give me appliances and cook books for any given holiday. Mainly because it is a gift for me that I will use for them. But the reason I love it so much is that it takes all the mess work out of making bread. I can latterly set it and forget it till the beeps tell me it's done. Most bread makers these days have a dough setting. This is the setting you will need. I use this like its going out of style.
So when I found a recipe that combined both I was like WOOOHOOO!! Let me tell you the fun I have with these. Today I will show you the basic salted pretzel but coat them with melted butter and cover with cinnamon & sugar or even your favorite popcorn seasoning... the sky is the limit. This is also one of those recipe's that you could get the kids involved no matter their age!
