I LOVE these pretzels! Give them a chance before you are scared off by some of the other reviews. I have to agree that I do think they are more like a cheddar bisquit (almost exactly like Red Lobster's) than a pretzel but the texture and flavor is outstanding. I added shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and also parmesan cheeses and I also took another reviewer's advice and added garlic powder and salt to the batter. We dipped them in a warm cheese conqueso dip and they were a HUGE hit! They are quick, fun and extremely tasty . . . especially with a cold beer on a warm summer eve! :)

I've not made this recipe but as someone that has actually made pretzel bread before I know better than to call this a pretzel. You'll get closer to a pretzel by using a bagel recipe instead of this. If you're not sure, look up Alton Brown's recipe / how-to for pretzels. You'll get a far better product and one that's tastier. If you know how to bake/cook with beer -you're even better off. A good hefewiezen makes it superb.
