Pretzel!!

[megakikichan]

I had my first soft pretzel the other day and it was awesome!
Does anyone know how to make them?? Can I have your recipe you can't find them where I live and I don't trust the internet lol :)

[Schleier von Dunst]

Pretzels are always good. nom.

I don't have a recipe.

/random post

[deadlydackle]

ive never had a pretzel! :O

[Schleier von Dunst]

:O I only had one... when I was in America... it was AMAZING

[megakikichan]

Deadlyamy> OMG! You've never had a pretzel! They're amazing, mine had sesame seeds on it, sooo yummy! :)

I've only ever had the crunchy small snack ones, like them.
Oh, and the chocolate covered ones they were special.
Why don't you trust the internet, if you go onto BBC food or a reputable chef website its little different to using a recipe book.

I'm intrigued to try one now but the wheat free version is probably crud.

^ not literally, I hope

[I.Heart.And]

You stalking scoundrel
No dear, not literally.

*shakes fist*
I need to triple check my posts really, once for spelling and grammar, twice for abiding to rules and thrice to see if you could possibly take the piss out of it

[Schleier von Dunst]

*giggles* I don't stalk you. I just like the same threads that you like. Or something.

Spelling and grammar... meh. They're overrated.
Yes, I check mine too.

Rules?
If I commented, I'd be told off.

Me taking the piss?
I can take the piss out of most things tbh.

[I.Heart.And]

I do the first two checks as default.
& I know you can, so can I but I often decide not to.
It's 6 of one..

[Schleier von Dunst]

*giggles* you love me for it

[I.Heart.And]

I do.
It gets me up in the morning.

[Schleier von Dunst]

was that sarcastic or no?

[I.Heart.And]

Half and half.

[Schleier von Dunst]

lol. Cheeky.

Which flour do you use for your bread? I find that gluten free stuff comes out really well home made, though a little crumblier than the normal stuff. You should try making them, bet they'd be good. =]

Oh, and to the OP, this site seems quite good/valid. With pictures and everything.

I can't remember the brand of it but it's wheat free specifically and I definitely agree about things coming out more crumbly. We tried making bread with it a few times and it was a completely different consistency, and quite dry. Cakes seem to come out well though.
Maybe I should give it a try

Do you get it on prescription? I find flour from the Drs is better from shop bought flour - my mum makes really nice bread that's not dry at all, just crumbly. And yeah, you won't know until you try.

EDIT: The flour my mum has is Juvela, if that helps any.

No, I don't get it on prescription, we buy it from Tescos. I don't know if I have been officially diagnosed (if that's even possible) with a wheat intolerance. My GP just told me to cut it out for two weeks to see if I felt better and I did so I carried on avoiding it.
Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye out for it.
