Pretzel Recipe Bleg

You know, when you beg on a blog, it's called blegging. I'd do it more often but  it might make me look needy.

Anyway, I need a really good proven recipe for Homemade Yeast Pretzels.  Very flavorful, but something that won't take three days and a starter that grandma gave you in college.  I have a very impatient five year old boy who is looking to make homemade pretzels and so far, the recipes I've come across have not been winners with him.  He is a pretzel afficionado and he's actually telling people that when he grows up, he wants to be a daddy and a baker, if he can find a good pretzel recipe. 

So there's no pressure out there on any of you to HELP ME find a good recipe for my sweet little kindergartener.......NO PRESSURE!

Seriously, when you send it (please please send it), make a point of telling me if you use white flour, white unbleached flour, bread flour or whole wheat.  I am not picky; I just want to make it like you make it if you think it's good enough to pass along.  And perhaps set in play my son's future career......but again, no pressure. 

Thanks! Ya'll are the best.

I have been visiting your blog forever but never thought to leave a comment I had actually added you as a friend a week or so ago. Just so I could "visit" people from Georgia. I am happy to have you as a friend. I have a recipe but I can't find it I am looking though and as soon as I find it I will let you know.
Blessings

P.S Yes us Georgia gals need to stick together! :)

Maybe?

I have been using this recipe and we like it. Especially w/cheese sauce.;)
3 cups flour

1 pkg yeast

1/2 tsp sugar

1 cup warm water (for yeast)

Mix together and let rise. PUnch down and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll out 18" long (as if I measured....) and shape into pretzel. Let rise 30 more min. (She said this was optional, but I think it's best for a 'softer' pretzel) Mix 1 egg yolk and 1 tsp water and use as an egg wash that is brushed on top of pretzel. Sprinkle salt. Bake at 475 for 10-12 min. DO NOT USE PARCHMENT PAPER!!!!! It's only good up to 420 degress which is why it burnt and emitted toxic fumes that gave me a raging headache.

Very easy and very tasty! I used whatever white flour they sell at Aldi.

LOL!

I don't have a pretzel recipe (ducking and running), but I had to come by and say hi after my long absence! Hope you get that baking career in gear! Sounds like he's discriminating enough to be a master chef, for sure!
