I love to watch Food Network. One show we all enjoy in Throwdown with Bobby Flay. One recent episode was Bobby taking on Big Daddy Pretzel from Philly. They had a soft pretzel throwdown and Bobby actually won! If you have seen the show you know that he usually does not win. My family was oooo-ing and ahh-ing at the sight of the pretzels and I was thinking they didn't look to difficult to make. Food Network posted his recipes and after checking it out decided that it would be a fun family activity and it actually was!!! After waiting forever for the dough to rise, according to Ariel, all 4 of us formed our snakes and made pretzel shapes popped them into the oven. Ohmyyummyness, they were good!
Not every time I find a new recipe or think of a fun thing to make does it turn out okay. In fact, the girls and I were watching TLC's Cake Boss and Buddy was talking about Irish Soda Bread. Ariel asked what it was and I didn't know, so thank goodness for Google, we found out. Looking at a recipe it looked easy and yummy, very similar to the recipe I use for biscuits. When all was said and done, the bread was good, but burned on the outside and still gooey on the inside. Guess I'll have to try that again and make sure the oven temp is accurate.
As far as the pretzels go, we all had a blast and we are looking forward to making them again! Having something that everyone really enjoys is not always easy, but this was a hit! Here's the link to the recipe... Bobby Flay's Soft Pretzels
