These look great! But, as a soapmaker who works with lye every day, I have to add a disclaimer to this video! First of all, I've done no research on lye as it relates to pretzelmaking, but I have to say that extreme caution should always be used when working with lye and protective equipment, including gloves, should ALWAYS be used when working with lye. If you had dipped your bare hands into lye water, you would have bought yourself a trip to the emergency room with extreme burns. I don't know what baking the baking soda does in terms of exact pH changes, but I'd advise anyone to use caution when working with possibly caustic chemicals. That's all! As an ICU nurse and soap maker, I couldn't NOT say anything! Now, on to the pretzelmaking I go!

I was skeptical about the 2 whole teaspoons of salt you're to add to the dough, but I trusted it wasn't a typo or something and I'm glad I did! After making it I taste that it was the right amount of salt, it makes them so savory. BUT THEY ARE TOOO DELICIOUS. This is my new pretzel recipe. Thanks for sharing, Hilah! I also really enjoyed your piece with Easy Tiger. It's on the other side of the country from me but it seems like the place to drink a beer and eat a giant pretzel.

For real fans, Video Bests: - Best physics/chemistry moment in a Hilah video: 2: 42 full on PBS. - Best history of stuff moment. -Prairie Soap. - (listen carefully for that) -Best existential / time travel moment in a Hilah video 8: 24 - 7 little words. explains the universe. -Best throwback. the Easy Tiger episode of -Hilah's Texas Kitchen- was outstanding. a Beer fest. - Best new word created by Chef Baby: Beck'uhl? Ahhhggggh! :-)

And here I thought they were hard to make! This is even easier than making pizza dough, and if my yeast isn't out of date and dead, I'ma gunna make a batch of these tomorrow!
I stopped buying all purpose flour a few years ago. I just use bread flour for everything. Well. nobody told me I couldn't. LOL

I've tried making soft pretzels so many times with very little success. I'm gonna try this recipe tomorrow and see how it goes. You've yet to steer me wrong on a recipe. I also love that these are egg-free with no alterations as my niece (who I'll be making this with) is highly allergic.

Those look great! I remember making pretzels in middle school home ec but I don't think we did a bath. Maybe egg wash? Also WOW Chef Baby is now Chef Toddler and super cute.

I'm European and I cook with measuring cups imported from relatives living in NA! It's just so much more convenient than having to bust a scale out for every little thing.

I just got done baking, I made some mini baguettes. I made soft pretzels a month ago as well. They were so good, I was surprised because it was my first time making them.

Hi, Hilah. Those pretzels look delicious, perfect for snacking. I am definitely going to try it. What do you love about having a huge fan base? Have a good weekend, Hilah.
