You know what’s good? …warm, chewy, pull-apart soft pretzels. The texture is so wonderful and the occasional slight crunch of the coarse salt makes it even better. You may be surprised to learn how incredibly easy they are to make. It takes some time, but it’s well worth it. Pretzels are delicious with mustard. However, […]
