Letter Pretzels

Last week Rowan and I felt like doing a baking project for our morning snack and decided to make letter pretzels from an old cookbook we had when I was a kid. It was lots of fun! Here's the recipe, and then photos of the result:

Letter Pretzels

1. Dissolve 1 Tablespoon of yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of salt.
3. Add 1 1/3 cup flour.
4. Knead.
5. Roll pieces and form letters- you can form letters on wax paper over a letter guide if necessary.

A delicious way to practice letter shapes

Retta didn't really help, but she did look awfully cute in her snowman dress
