- 1 1/3 c. flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- Adult - preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Kid - place the yeast in a small bowl and add the water and honey. Stir just a little and then leave for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the flour and salt together.
- Adult - check on the yeast which should have increased in size and begun to bubble. Add it to the flour and stir with a spoon. When it gets a bit unwieldy, use your hands. When it is crumbly and flaky, it's ready.
- Kid - knead the dough on a board, as if it was clay. Break off a piece about the size of a super bouncy ball and roll into a snake. Twist it into a pretzel shape, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Do this with all the dough. You can brush the pretzels with a little beated egg yolk and the sprinkle with sesame seeds, fresh diced garlic, or parmesan cheese if you like.
- Bake the pretzels for 10 minutes.
