We made pretzels this morning, from a kit Lex received as a birthday gift! It was a baking kit \/ science experiment all at once. You had to proof the yeast and measure the water temperature and the instructions included all sorts of interesting facts about yeast and bread and pretzels and salt. It took us all morning, due to the numerous breaks required for the dough rising. It was fun though and the whole family got involved. Best of all, the pretzels were delicious!<\/p>\n

\"temperature\"<\/a>

Taking the temperature of the water. This little thermometer strip which came with the kit didn't work at all, so I pulled out the candy thermometer instead. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"kneading\"<\/a>

Eve INSISTED she knew how to knead dough.. until she got her sweet little hands on it, then her story quickly changed and she was asking for help. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"rolling\"<\/a>

This is a terrible picture of Lex, but it cracks me up. All four of us got involved in the rolling and shaping process. It's harder than you'd think!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"salt<\/a>

Salting the dough. This was the easy part! :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"salt<\/a>

Aren't those some snazzy looking pretzels??<\/p><\/div>\n
