pretzel rolls

I consider myself a good dessert baker, a relatively good cook, but NOT good with yeast breads. They usually are flat and lifeless. I decided to give it another go when I saw this recipe for pretzel rolls.  Awhile back we had a sample of pretzel rolls at Costco and I about died. They are the yummiest little things in the world.

These were VERY labor intensive, but I actually was quite successful (despite them not looking anything like the blog picture!). Chris said they were the best bread roll I've ever made!! They were chewy, dense like pretzels, and had a wonderful yeast taste. So if you are willing to put in the time and like soft pretzels, these are awesome. :)

My version:

The past couple nights we've had a, "World Series Party". We all eat dinner in the living room while watching the game. Chris explains things to the kids about the game and it's actually kind of cute to see Cam be somewhat interested. :)
