This is 1/2 the daily bread recipe, baked for 20 minutes with lid on and 22 minutes with lid off. Baked in our new 3 quart Bella enameled cast iron pot, a gift from my sister-in-law Terri. Its the perfect size for two people, thank you, Terri.</div>

These pretzels are amazing, we've made them 2 or 3 times in the last month. They are very simple to make with our KitchenAid mixer and a real family pleaser. We made some changes to the original recipe from Allrecipes.com, <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/buttery-soft-pretzels/">here is the link to the original recipe</a> from Christa Rose that inspired all these delicious Noms. Thank you Ms. Rose!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Buttery Soft Pretzels</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 teaspoons active dry yeast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 teaspoon white sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/4 cup water (110 degrees)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4-5 cups of flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tablespoon olive oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 cups hot water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup baking soda</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coarse Himalayan salt</div>
<br />
In the KitchenAid bowl mix 1 teaspoon sugar along with the yeast and warm water, let stand for about 10 minutes. With the dough hook attached add the sugar, oil and one cup flour. With the mixer on low continue to slowly add flour until it cleans the side of the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes. I'm unable to tell if the dough is correct without hand kneading it, so I'll take the dough out the machine and knead on the counter till it feels smooth and elastic. Cover the top with saran wrap and let rise for an hour until double. <br />
<br />
Turn the oven to 450 degrees. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and then roll them out between your hands until they are 16 to 20 inches long long. Alternatively, you can roll the pretzel dough into a large pancake and then cut it into 12 long strips, which saves time on the hand rolling. I can't fold the ropes into pretzels without looking at<a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Fold-a-Pretzel"> pretzel folding directions </a>each and every time. Spray a large baking pan with non stick oil and place your pretzel masterpieces on the tray. Mix the hot water and baking soda in a large bowl. Once all the pretzels are rolled and folded into shape, dip them in the baking soda and hot water solution one at a time. Sprinkle with freshly ground Himalayan salt and pop them in the top rack of the oven for 8 minutes. Remove and enjoy while hot. <br />

Like some sensible birds my wife and I are migrating south for the winter. It pains me to think of all the cold and rainy days we'll be missing in the Pacific Northwest's gloriously damp and blustery winter, but its healthy to try new things. Stay warm, my friends. </div>

This is an amazingly decadent vegetable serving. New potatoes, frozen peas swimming in Bechamel sauce. We mixed a double batch of Bechamel for this recipe. We steamed the potatoes before hand, added the frozen baby peas and poured the hot Bechamel over the peas and potatoes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bechamel Sauce</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 1/2 Tablespoons of butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 Tablespoons flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups skim milk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 Teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dash of freshly ground nutmeg</div>
<br />
Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the flour and toast until almost sandy colored. While the flour and butter are browning preheat 2 cups of milk. Slowly add the hot milk to the browned flour and butter while continuously whisking. Bring to a boil, cook on medium heat while whisking almost constantly for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, season with salt and nutmeg. The result is a buttery creamy smooth Bechamel that goes very well with potatoes, peas, broccoli, fresh bread...<br />
