PRETZEL BITES

Who doesn't love a warm, salty pretzel? When I worked at the mall in Lubbock the office was next to the pretzel shop, and once a month or so they would bring us all a treat and I remember looking forward to that sweet/salty smell making its way down our hall. Yummmm....

The process:
I followed the directions exactly minus the change in rolls listed below.

The change:
Our grocery stores don't carry a wide variety of Rhodes products so I had to use the regular Rhodes dinner rolls instead of the Texas Sized ones the original blogger referred to.
The checkbook:
$4 for the rolls at Wal-Mart.

The bottom line:
I was a little sceptical about these once I got into the process. How were they not going to taste just like rolls. Well, somewhere between the baking, buttering, salting these homely rolls became something really delicious. I tried all 3 varieties (plain Kosher salt; Kosher salt, parmesan and garlic; cinnamon/sugar). Each one turned out sooo good. It's all about the Kosher salt. But in the end, the cinnamon/sugar ones took top award. This is a who would have thought idea and one definitely worth trying. You have to devote a few hours to this project to allow for all the thawing and raising but you will be rewarded in the end.
