Well, sadly we can’t go to Disney right now. We are looking for fun ways to try something new. We found a copycat recipe for Disney’s Biergarten Soft Pretzels. We have never made pretzels before but they were super easy! We will definitely make them again. We also switched up the recipe a bit and made a few with Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel topping. They were soooo yummy.
Until we can go to Disney again, we will make these and enjoy them.

Instructions

- Roll out dough into strings and then twist dough pieces in the middle.
- Pick up the dough string with two hands each hand holding one end.
- Attach the ends to the dough in a pretzel shape.
- Place pretzel on a baking sheet and allow to proof until pretzels string thickness is about doubles as thick.

- Put on to baking sheets and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
