He bakes and he watches football!

I baked some pretzels this afternoon for a football game, Jets vs. New English Patriots, that I had been looking forward to watch. The recipe for pretzel dough could be used to bake bagels as well; therefore, my breakfast for the next two days is taken care of too!

Soft and airy dough after resting it for an hour.

Shape them up! Preztels and bagels.

Soft pretzels are done! Golden and fluffy.

Tomorrow’s breakfast: homemade bagel with Peppercorn Cream Cheese (have yet to make)

One of my favorite condiments to pair with soft preztel: English mustard…really spicy!

A closer look at the pretzel’s golden exterior.

My pretzels are soft but not chewy enough. I used all purpose flour this time, and I will be testing out the same recipe with bread flour in the next batch.

What do you like to eat while watching football on Sunday?
