@MaxIsConfused: Taking the drink from Chase she sniffed it, the scent of chocolate, cinnamon, and peppermint wafted up from the cup. "We certainly have history! I've lived here all my life," she replied with a warm smile, "I am a broker, so I help my friends sell their items online. Being so old, it can be tricky to deal with this new technology. They've got a lot of antiques, which of course a good chunk still feels like it was new as of yesterday. Let me know if there's anything you're looking for! Here," she dug through her handbag pulling out a business card. "You can always reach me via that phone number. Did you know that our town founder back in 1812 was able to see through the walls of the ice cave? Or so the stories go, he was able to. What he saw in the ice was this monstrous creature: Truly a thing of nightmares with bulbous eyes, more than two, and hands so large they could easily wrap around a large, thick, ancient tree's stump. Of course, now that cave is melted... and no such creature was found. What do you think happened to it? Did it get snatched up by some carnie? Or perhaps it's," leaning forward for effect she whispers, "Alive?"

Not a slow cooker recipe, but absolutely one of my favorite soft pretzel recipes. It's really easy to do on a chill stay-at-home day!! I'd even go as far as to say this is great beginner's into bread recipe, too. One of those quick learns. You can skip the baking soda/powder bath. It affects coloring, and longevity of chewiness. So without it, it's a bit harder after the first day (but not inedible, don't worry) and you won't get that same browning effect. Cool chemistry is the reason I think.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups water, warm
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 packet active dry yeast
4 ½ cups flour
3 tablespoons oil, divided
⅔ cup baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
coarse salt

Steps

In a bowl, mix water, salt, and sugar until combined. Add yeast, and let rest 5 minutes until yeast starts to foam.
Add flour and 2 tablespoons of oil, and mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Remove the dough and use the remaining oil to cover the bowl.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a towel, and leave in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
Cut dough into 8 pieces and roll them out into thin ropes, twisting the two ends to form a pretzel shape.
Add baking soda to a large pot of water, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds per side.
Transfer pretzels to a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Enjoy!
