Your pretzels look great…but nothing like the ones from the guy on Front Street selling them when you get off 95.

20 years ago I tried to make pizza dough and had difficult time with getting my dough to rise. Now that I’m a bit older and wiser, maybe I’ll have better luck.

Agreed – no mustard.

I once had a Pretzel from around Univ of Penn and the guy had a grill and heated it for me. Amazing. I never forgot that one.

I’m 1 hour 45 minutes from Philly. I have my last frozen pretzel in the freezer. I think I’m going to try to make some myself. What fun.

Thanks for posting.

Pete,
Your pretzels look good for a first try. I just mastered making the perfect pizza circle, after like 100 tries, so don’t feel bad man. I’m sure they taste exceptional. As a pastry chef I realize that most people focus on presentation and that’s ok, but it has to taste as good as it looks. Also, I love spicy brown mustard on my pretzels all day!!!! Sorry (no I’m not)! Congratulations and keep up the great work, your website is awesome man.

You’re not the only one. I don’t like mustard with pretzels either.:)

Mmm, pretzels! I’ve never been anywhere that sells street pretzels, so I make do with ones at basketball games. Then one day I made my own and that was great!

Hey Pete,

Your pretzels look pretty darned good. I tried the recipe a few weeks ago, and while they tasted great, they looked more like something the neighbor’s dog left in the yard. We ate them anyway – with mustard. “-)
