I LOVE German pretzels – there is nothing quite like a fresh warm pretzel, no matter the time of day or whether it’s eaten plain or buttered. When I lived in Germany I had them ALL the time, but here in Sweden they can’t be found around every corner like in Germany, so what to do?

Well, you make some yourself of course!

I know, it sounds like a hassle, but to tell you the truth pretzels are actually not very difficult to make. The ingredients are few, and all in all they only need to bake for 8 minutes (+30 seconds in boiling water). Mine are quite light in color, but for a darker shade just bake them for another 5 minutes.
