Notes
• To make the pretzels even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of sugar to the boiling water.
• For a more traditional pretzel flavor, try adding a teaspoon of mustard powder or 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds to the dough.
• For a sweeter pretzel, sprinkle the tops with sugar before baking.
• To make the pretzels look shiny, brush them with a beaten egg before baking.
• To make a vegan version of the pretzels, substitute the butter with vegan butter.
• For a more savory pretzel, top with coarse sea salt or sesame seeds before baking.
