Before the KitchenThis week I had no idea what I wanted to make. I was tired of making sweets if I am being honest. Don't get me wrong, I have a huge sweet tooth. But I wanted to try something new. I was talking to one of my friends about my situation and she requested soft pretzels. She gave me a recipe that she had tried multiple times and said it tasted really good. I was really excited for this because it reminded of 2020, which is really weird I know. During 2020 I made so much bread and it is also when I started to love baking. So once she gave me this recipe I was 100% going to use this one. The BakingBaking the pretzels started with finding the ingredients. It didn't need very many ingredients but yeast is hard to find. I found a lot in my cabinet but it was all expired. Finally I called my grandma and she gave me some. After that I made the dough, I had to let it sit for one hour. Once it had risen, I had to to make pretzels shapes. This was the part that my friend had warned me about. She said it was pretty hard. Luckily I figured it out after about the fourth try. The recipe made a total of eight pretzels and after I made them I had to boil them then put them in the oven. When they came out of the oven I got really worried because they were stuck to the pan. The recipe did not tell me to grease the pan but I did anyways and they still got stuck. After I finally got them off, they tasted really good especially warm. My brother ate four out of the eight so they were at least a success in his eyes. ![]() Just ignore the half eaten one because I forgot to take a picture before my dad took one of them. Next Week?I have already had many requests this week for what I should make next week. I have been asked to make chocolate eclair cake, monster cookies and many other things. So as of right now I have no idea what I am going to do. I kind of want to find a recipe that is a little more complicated then what I have done so far to see if I could handle it. But overall this week was a success and I am looking forward to next week.
