@eirene_belle: Wait, are you here to show you the process of kneading the dough for pretzels? In the meantime I will tell you a short story about them. It is quite fascinating Have you ever wondered when did pretzels make their way to America? In the latter part of the 18th century, Swiss German immigrants introduced German baking traditions to people in the United States, Pennsylvania in particular. These immigrants they quickly became popular for their freshly baked pretzels.  The pretzel's popularity spread until many handmade pretzel bakeries populated the Central Pennsylvania countryside.  You already guessed that pretzels have very early roots in Southern Germany, where it is typically credited as the birthplace of soft pretzels. As early as the 12th century, German pretzel bakers used the pretzel shape in the emblem for their guild (kind of like a union), and also for their own coat of arms.  Also, soft pretzels using a simple recipe of only flour, water, and salt were used during Lent when Christians were not permitted to eat eggs, lard, or any dairy products.  It eventually became a tradition on Easter morning to hide pretzels for the children in a pretzel hunt, instead of eggs for an Easter egg hunt like we do today. As a result, pretzels have become heavily associated with both Lent and Easter.  Do you like pretzels? I love their taste
