INSTRUCTIONS

Add into the bread machine in this order.  Set on manual. FORMING: Cut
dough into short strips, roll into ropes and shape into pretzels.
Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 45 minutes. 'BATH': In a cast
iron or OTHER NONALUMINUM pan, bring almost to a boil 4 cups of water
and 5 teaspoons of baking soda. Gently place (by hand or using  slotted
spoon) the pretzels into the water for approximately 15  seconds on
each side turning once.  Do NOT let water come to a boil.  Remove
pretzels and place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with  coarse
salt (kosher). Bake at 475 for 12    minutes.  NOTE: In my oven it took
only about 10 minutes so watch carefully. Do  NOT make the strips too
fat; they really puff up. If you are on a  salt-free diet use sesame,
poppy, garlic; whatever you like on the  outside...the WHOLE family,
both upstairs and downstairs loved them  and the DAK did all the hard
work.  If you use a machine that needs the water first add ingredients
in  reverse order. FROM: Donna German's THE BREAD MACHINE COOKBOOK I

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
