I made homemade Pretzels the other night. They were soooo good. Like the ones you buy at the mall, except way cheaper!! lol And we got to eat as many as we wanted without standing in line!! lol
The kids helped roll and shape them. We used this recipe.

The only extra tip needed is to roll them thin. The ones the kids did were a bit doughy.

Good luck!! We loved them. We made them again over the weekend and I tried my hand at pretzel dogs. lol It was fun!! The kids were thrilled.
