cheesy soft pretzels

criminal. i made these for school snacks and we are already plowing through them. this recipe courtesy of jane kinderlehrer, former editor of prevention magazine and author of cooking kosher; the natural way.


2 tbsp butter
3/4 c + 1 tbsp water
1 tsp honey (i used more)
1 tbsp dry yeast
2c shredded cheese **
1c wheat germ
1c whole wheat flour
1 egg

**  i doubled the batch and used 2c cheddar and 2c mozarella.

gently heat the butter, water, and honey. when appropriate temperature (tepid/wrist temp), add yeast. combine all other ingredients in bowl and pour in yeast mixture. knead dough and shape into little pretzels. place on cookie sheets that have been dusted with cornmeal.

spray tops with olive oil cooking spray and then sprinkle salt (preferably coarse kosher salt) on top. bake at 375 for about 25 mins or until brown. delish!
