Homemade Soft Pretzels
One of the main reasons that I go to baseball games is for the food. Overpriced beer in plastic cups, greasy hot dogs and cotton candy make up for any shortcomings in a long, drawn-out game. My favorite snack is a soft pretzel, served hot and smothered in mustard. Since Dodger Stadium is too far of a drive for a fancy piece of bread, I decided to make my own yesterday (using this recipe) on what was a particularly gray, dreary afternoon. The process took far more time than I expected, but they were entirely worth the wait (especially the few that I decided to make with cinnamon and sugar).

Oh wow, those look pretty intense to make! But judging from the photos, they turned out very delicious-looking. You reminded me that I haven’t had a pretzel in SO LONG.
The photos look great, perhaps rather difficult to make for me- an absolute klutz in the kitchen.
Delicious though.

These look delicious!
You’re really an inspiration with all this cooking. Perhaps one day I’ll try out a recipe. I’m afraid I might hurt myself in the kitchen though!

Hey, if you have to deal with yeast dough, you might as well end up with adorable, salty, pull-apart pretzels, right? I’ve made loaves of bread before, but these sound way more fun.
It looks delicious!
xoxo
AHH! they look SO good. I love a good recipe, thanks for posting this! I’m hoping to also somehow tackle homemade kettle corn. Yum.

oh boy, those look delicious! i remember making big soft pretzels once when i was a kid, and i think it’s time to try it again! every time i pass one of those auntie anne’s pretzel stands at the mall, i get THE most intense craving for a soft pretzel. surely they’re healthier when you make them at home, right?
kate of http://cookieandkate.com
One word: yum!
http://ciupabiksemad.blogspot.com/
These look incredible! I’ve never thought about making my own soft pretzels before but clearly I’ve been missing out
Those look fantastic! Thanks for posting the link, I love soft pretzels.
Each day a become more and more of your blog…i just love it. every single day i’m here to see what’s new.
you just won a portuguese fan
Those look yummy!
Mmm, pretzels.
I too am guilty for gorging on overpriced ball park food. It’s part of the experience!
Yum, I LOVE homemade pretzels. The recipe looks doable so I will have to try them out! (That sauce looks pretty good, too)

Now THIS I’ve got to try. I adore soft pretzels!
i love soft pretzels too–i generally get them at the mall and dip ‘em in cheese sauce!!!
http://www.cupcakesomg.blogspot.com
These look scrumptious! You get huge props from me Emily! I was a big homemade bread baker (before toddler:) and I know how tedious pretzels can be with the boiling water added to the process. I’ve ended up with hard as a rock little knots on several occassions! But it’s so worth it when they come out soft and pretty~like these:) I just may dust off my baking books~Thanks for the inspiration!

I just had dinner but now I’m hungry again! They look heavenly darling
Yum yum yum! I made a calorie filled mushroom sandwich yesterday and this looks like the perfect dessert!
Your photos look like they are straight out of a magazine. You make baking seem so romantic. xo.
Pretzels remind me of my trips I make to the mall. Yours look quite delicious and make me wish I could reach through my monitor and eat one!
You’re honestly the cutest thing ever. I am so not into baseball either (football is my sport, thank you), but enjoy going for the experience, and that includes the food and beer. Please tell me you had a soft pretzel when you were in New York?! If not, I’m going to have to find a way to send you one!
These loo delicious!!! Definately going to try this!
These remind me of the 8th grade when Aunty Anne’s was the only thing in our mall food court! lol – I love soft pretzels! Thanks for reminding me that i NEED one

SO going to make these for my house warming on July 17th!
Yummy finger food for sure! && I adore soft pretzels! Come to think of it, you should SO do a post on appetizers/finger foods for house warming parties! 
Even drink ideas would be great! The summer is so hot and I want to please my guests with something cool, refreshing, and tasty!

I really love Preztel Hot Dogs. I wonder if i can tweek it and do that with this recipe as well.

Looks so good, I haven’t had a soft pretzel in so long. You should seriously look into publishing a recipe book if you haven’t already, it would be the most fashionable cook book kicking around.
http://tovogueorbust.blogspot.com/
wow these are so picture perfect! look straight out of a magazine! yum, will have to try this one day! maybe work them into our catering menu for the wedding next year they seem to fit in with the theme!
http://www.pinkpeonieswithlove.blogspot.com
so cute! and these sound/look delish!
totally adorable! how fun to have a homemade pretzel-you don’t see those very often!
http://asequindressatbreakfast.wordpress.com
Gosh I would loveee to live in your house! Or maybe just your kitchen
That’s so cool! I want to try making my own pretzels.
http://amusebouche-caitlin.blogspot.com
Beautiful. And such pretty pictures, even of the dough!
PS digging the dark nail polish. My favorite shade in the whole world is Siberian Nights by OPI, which is a deep onyx-purple. But I read in Cosmo that dark (well, black, but Siberian Nights is pretty dark) polish during the summer looks “dirty, and not in a good way.” Ugh! Doesn’t mean I’ll stop wearing it!
I love soft pretzels so I am definitely going to try this recipe out!
http://www.fashionsnag.com
MMMmmmm those look delicious! I can’t wait til I have a kitchen of my own and can make fun things like these!
Looks amazing. I want to know who ends up eating all these yummy foods you make???
Mmm…my mouth is watering just looking at this! Btw, have you tried the almond crunch flavor at Wetzel Pretzel? It’s my favorite:P
You must be reading the Whatever Martha blog!
http://sweethomewherever.blogspot.com
Mmm! Delicious! I *heart* soft pretzels but never thought of making my own! Will have to try that when I get some down time. I bet they taste 100x’s better than the Dodger stadium ones!
xx Vivian @ http://diamondsandtulle.blogspot.com
Pretzels are my weakness!! I love them! I like that yours are small too. I might just have to try this recipe. Although I am a little worried about my coming out like yours!
yummy
http://www.thefeliblog.com
these look delicious!
ooo – I am a soft pretzel addict. I really love them, the salty goodness dunked in mustard or cream cheese. I’ve got the craving now, lol.
I have to agree with you. I’m not a huge baseball fan at ALL, but when my Company offers me their seats I will certainly go and have a few beers and enjoy the stadium food and friends.

Cupcakes & Cashmere new fan here! It would be great to see a post about your ideal outfit for a baseball game or other summer sport outing!
Cinnamon Sugar pretzels are one of my great indulgences – I used to LIVE off the Auntie Ann’s version as a kid.

These are incredible! i’m a littel upset with you though. do you know how dangerous this is, me in posession of a soft pretzel recipie and picture inspiriation! my obesity is on you:)

This is a great snack! I also love soft prezels…and though they took a long time to make I bet it was so rewarding
Oh my god, you are killing me! Soft pretzels are my favorite game food as well. Although I definitely eat the dodger dogs, as suspect as they might be. And yay for you braving the yeasted bread dough!
I have a friend who LOVES soft pretzels. I’m sending this to her in because they look delish and in hopes that she’ll make them and share (i’m not much of a cook myself)!!
Those pretzels look so tasty, I’m going to have to try out that recipe. Is there anything special needed (butter?) for the cinnamon and sugar pretzels? I’m not a mustard fan.
I’m curious to see if these will be better than NYC street pretzels… those have always been my favorite!

I just don’t understand how you do it!!! manage to be flawlessly dressed all the time and then find the time to be in the kitchen like you are. My husband is praying that one day I might be inspired by you ( I tell him about you all the time) and become the super mom, wife, woman that you obviously are…. Kudos to you Emily!!!!

These look so super cute and are perfectly sized as opposed to the giant ones we normally get!
haha so funny! I just posted something similar to this- I went to a Yankee Game yesterday and realized what I enjoyed was the food!!
Those look amazing. I don’t have the patience to make them, but thanks to you, I will be stopping by the stand and purchasing one..or two on the way to work today!
Yum!

Todays post inspired me so much that i not only made one batch for my family, but also made a second to share with all my friends tomarro. Thanks and again, love you!
oh myyyy these look amazing!
These look delicious! They look just like the the pretzels we love at Sigmund Pretzels in NYC, which we had at the Hester Street Fair just after a bagel brunch at Russ and Daughters. Check out our NYC livin’ for places to hit up for delish snacks like yours at http://www.harrietmagpie.com
Yum Yum Yum. I am going to make these. They look delicious.

I have a sudden craving for soft pretzels now… They look full of yuminess!
Those look extremely tasty – and easy! I never thought to try and make these at home. Thanks for sharing!
I am officially eating my hand right now. Damn, I need some soft pretzels STAT!
These look AMAZING. Will definitely be trying this recipe out!xx
So I made these pretzels tonight and they turned out great except for one thing…the bottoms taste very baking soda-ish. Did yours? Could you suggest something that would fix that? But otherwise they were awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
These look too delectable for words. Soft pretzels are a favorite treat of mine; I can’t wait to make these! On another note, I finally tried making your Fleur de Sel Caramels and, after three attempts, they turned out perfectly!
