Couldn't quite wait for them to cool before taste testing! I'm looking forward to hosting a beer and pretzel afternoon in the sun this summer, sure to impress!

They turned out just as I wanted, except they stuck to the baking paper, which was my fault because I plonked them on it still wet from the bicarbonate of soda dip. Once we'd cut them free they tasted delicious, next time I'll use the greased baking tray as suggested! Brilliant, thank you very much for the clear instructions.

Funnily enough, I was making some bread (not pretzels) last night and, as I was messing around with the dough, made a couple of pretzel shapes and did it the way you describe, and it suddenly looked much more "pretzely".

One thing though, you got the shape wrong. You need to twist the arms together and then rest the tips on top of the bread rather than underneath.

How long did you leave them in the oven for? I'm quite an impatient baker and tend to take things out too soon, and these did need quite a while to really turn dark.

Can't quite get the uber crusty surface and dark dark brown colouring though - any tips? Thanks for this – just made my first batch and recipe was fantastic.
