Soft Pretzels

Rhodes Roll Recipe

Rhodes Texas Rolls

Coarse Salt (or any other pretzel toppings you would like, ie. cinnamon)

Boiling water (approx. 4 cups or 6 inches in a pan)

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

Let your rolls thaw until they are soft but not starting to rise. Roll the dough into a long rope about 18" long. Twist dough rope into a pretzel shape. Place on a sprayed baking sheet, cover with sprayed plastic wrap. Let rise 30-45 minutes. Bring water to a boil and add baking soda to water. Place pretzels in the water for about 30 seconds. While they are in the water spoon some water over the top to help boil the top.  Don't leave in much longer than 30 seconds or it will leave a big mess. Remove pretzel from the water with a slotted metal spatula or spoon and let them cool and drain on a cooling rack. After cooling, place pretzels back on the baking sheet and add the toppings you prefer. Toppings will adhere better if the tops are a little moist. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, and ENJOY!

Such an easy fun recipe that the whole family can participate in. My girls had a blast "creating" their own pretzel! These pretzels are chewy and yummy, just like they should be!

So many wonderful things you can do with Rhodes Rolls.  Here is one we recently did.

1 package Rhodes Anytime Dinner Rolls

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

2 tablespoons garlic bread sprinkle OR

     1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Let covered rolls sit until thawed, about 45 minutes.  Cut each roll in half and drop back in pan.  Drizzle butter over rolls and sprinkle with parsley, garlic mixture and mozzarella cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

*I wasn't able to find the Anytime Dinner Rolls so I just got the regular frozen dinner rolls. (I just looked at their site too and didn't find them in their list of products.  I've had this recipe for awhile, so maybe they don't make them anymore.)  I sprayed a 9" cake pan then put 12 frozen balls in it.  When they had thawed, but not risen I cut them in half and dropped them back in the pan.  Then I let them rise until they were all squished together but not rising over the pan.  Next, drizzle the butter over them, sprinkle the parsley and garlice mixture and top with the mozzarella cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

These are great with soup or with pasta dishes.  The kids loved them too!
