Eli and two of my nephews made soft pretzels today - some in the shape of cinnamon rolls, a few pizzas, letters in their names and some that actually looked like pretzels! Though I've tasted better soft pretzel recipes, I like this one because it's quick and easy to mix up with kids. (And, of course, children aren't terribly particular!)
Soft Pretzels
In a large bowl, dissolve 2 tabl. yeast in 1 C. very warm water; let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tsp. honey and 1 tsp. salt. Then add 2 2/3 C. flour. I used bread flour but you can try all-purpose flour. Knead dough for 5 minutes. Then divide into balls and allow each child to make what shapes they want with it. Place on cookie sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 10 minutes at 425. Best when eaten warm from the oven.
