CTR Pretzels

The boys and I made these a couple weeks ago after church.  They were fun to make with the kids!  They each picked a letter and then we all helped with the other one!
It was a fun afternoon cooking with the boys and they turned out really good!  We dipped them in nacho cheese and ate them warm too!
CTR Pretzels
(January Friend magazine)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2-3 cups flour (I did half wheat flour)
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • melted butter
  • coarse salt to sprinkle on top
Mix salt, flour yeast, warm water and sugar together until they form a ball.  Then continue to knead dough until smooth and elastic~I did this all in my mixer.  Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Pull off sections of the dough and let the kids roll into long ropes.  Form the ropes into the letters "CTR" or you can do your kids initials or whatever you like!

Put the pretzels on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes at 450 degrees.  It might take a little longer to make them golden brown!

Brush pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt!  Enjoy like this or dip in nacho cheese!
