1 cup water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons oil

1. Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.

2. Select Dough setting, then press start.

3. After the machine has beeped (i let is sit about 15 min. after it has beeped) put it onto a very lightly floured surface.

4. Pull small/medium sized chunks from the dough, put on a greased cookie sheet (you can use cooking spray of Crisco)

5. Let rise arround 15-20 min.

6. While pretzels are rising, but in a 3 quart sauce pan, 2 quarts of water and 1/3 cup baking soda; bring to a boil

7. After the water is done boiling and your dough is done rising, place one pan full (there should be about 2 medium/large sized pans) of dough into the water let sit 5-10 seconds.

That is so funny because this year in 4-H I am making pretzels!! The only thing that is bad about this is that you can't use a recipe with yeast because next year we make yeast rolls.

Thanks though! We will try this soon!
