A Special Memory

I still remember the first time I made these pretzels with my mom. She could turn simple ingredients into something magical! Every Christmas, we would roll out the dough together while she told funny stories about her childhood. Making Christmas Pretzels is our special tradition every cristmas season .I think of those happy moments.

Ingredients :

Flour – This makes the dough soft and chewy.

Warm Water – Helps the yeast do its magic!

Yeast – This makes the dough rise and become fluffy.

Sugar – A little sweetness makes the flavor just right. Butter – Gives the pretzels a rich and tasty flavor. Coarse Salt – Sprinkling this on top makes the pretzels extra yummy!

Step 2: Make the Dough Add flour and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir it well,.Then use your hands to knead it on a floured surface for about five minutes until it’s smooth.
