Homemade Pretzel with Mustard

As much as I enjoy sitting through nine innings of America’s favorite past time, I must admit that I go to baseball games for one reason, and one reason only: Soft pretzels. Back in April, I figured out a way to make my dough-filled dreams come true in the comfort of my own home – stray foul balls and plastic cheese sauce not included.

I have learned to make Alton Brown’s Homemade Soft Pretzels in less than two hours. And you can too. Keep it classic with traditional pretzel shapes or try forming the dough into mini-baguettes. Either way, bake up this ballpark favorite and serve with tangy mustard, warm cheese or my favorite, melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
