Katie wanted to make soft pretzels. Pretty easy to make, even though there were a few steps.
Soft Pretzels
1 cup water, plus
2 tablespoons water (at 70 to 80 degrees)
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 quarts water
1/2 cup baking soda
1 egg
kosher salt
Add yeast to 2 tbsp warm water and let sit till foamy. Place flour, sugar, 1 cup water and yeast in water in mixing bowl and mix. Kneed for 5-10 min by hand or with dough hook of mixer.
Place dough on lightly floured surface and seperate into 8 portions for large pretzels or more for smaller pretzels. Shape into ropes and shape like pretzel.
In a large sauce pan bring water and baking soda to a boil. Drop pretzels two at a time into boiling water for 10 -15 sec. Remove with slotted spoon and place on greased baking sheet. Beat egg and brush top of pretzels with egg. sprinkle with salt. Bake 8 - 10 min till golden brown.

Ooh! Those look yummy! I think it's just precious how those two love cooking! Keep it up and they'll never forget it when they get older. My students in my classes are absolutely FLOORED when I tell them I was cooking complete meals for my entire family when I was in the 4th grade. I know...crazy right?
