Our weekend started early as Aubrey had a gymnastics meet at the Wilderness at the Smokies convention center Friday morning. She did a good job. Although, there were some mishaps, and Aubrey wasn't happy with the results:( After the meet, we went to the indoor water park and the Wilderness Adventure Forest, an indoor fun place. While there, Aubrey had a big pretzel, and that got me thinking about making a whole wheat pretzel at home. So, I looked up a recipe, and gave it a try. The recipe comes from Mr. Alton Brown, and can be found on the following link: Homemade Soft Pretzel
Of course, we substituted whole wheat flour. We sifted the flour and used about 3 and 3/4 Cups of the sifted flour. I think I will try it with 3 and 1/2 cups next time because it still looked a little dryer than I thought it should.
Here are our pictures of the pretzel adventure we took at home!

What the water, sugar, salt and yeast looked like after 5 minutes
kneading
We let it rise for 1 hour, cut into eighth's, and rolled into 24 inch rope
Shaped into pretzels, boiled for 30 seconds in water and baking soda.
Placed on pan, coated with egg wash and salt
Baked for 12 minutes
Final result......
They were so soft in the middle and had a good texture on the outside! YUMMY :)
