Soft Pretzels Recipe
"Most people consider soft pretzels, and pretzels in general, to be Bavarian in origin. The tasty treats actually began in a small monastery in southern France, where a priest used them to award children for prayers said properly. Turn a pretzel, hard or soft, upside down, and observe how it resembles two arms folded across the chest with hands on opposite shoulders, in prayer. The original soft pretzel was upside down compared to the knotted heart shape we tend to see it as in modern times. Learn how to make your own pillowy soft pretzels, just like the original French treats, with this easy recipe and pretzel shaping tutorial.
