Recipes for teens- Pretzels

Prep time: about 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1 tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1 tsp. honey
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt

• 
  Directions:
  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
• 
  Put the yeast in a small bowl with the water and honey. Stir a little, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• 
  Mix the flour and salt together in a medium-size bowl.
• 
  After the 5 minutes is up, check on the yeast mixture. It should be bigger than before and a little bubbly. Add this mixture to the flour and salt mixture.
• 
  Stir everything together. Use a spoon to start. Finish with your hands. The dough is ready when it's still a little crumbly and flaky.
• 
  Sprinkle flour on a cutting board. Put the dough on the cutting board and knead it like you are playing with clay. Knead it into one big ball.
• 
  Break off a piece of dough that's about the size of a big gumball or superball. Use your hands to roll it into a skinny snake.
• 
  Twist the snake into a medium-size pretzel shape, and put it on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Do this with all the dough, making 12 pretzels.
• 
  Bake your pretzels for 10 minutes. Let them cool and take a bite!
