Mmmm, twisty.

Today was a typical lazy Sunday, so it was a good day for a baking project.

Last week I signed up for the diet plan on shape.com, which maps out meal plans and workouts daily. One of the snacks it likes to throw at me sometimes is a soft pretzel, which is awesome because they’re probably one of my favourite foods ever. So I dug through some of my many cookbooks and found a recipe, and today I decided to give it a go.

Like most breads, they took several hours because of all the rising, but it was worth it for the end result. And I was surprised at how easy it was to shape them; it always seemed to me like it would be really hard, but of course it’s not.

Here’s how they turned out

Definitely my new favourite weekend project.
