A Homemade Pretzel covered in butter and parmesan cheese!

Here’s what you need to make these easy pretzels: 

• 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar

These would make wonderful after school snacks or also a great tailgate or party food. My kids love to dip their pretzels in melted cheese or mustard, and I’m kind of fond of both so I usually try to keep both options on hand. We’ve never tried freezing these, but I’m told they do freeze nicely and then you can just reheat them in the microwave.
