I misread the recipe and added two tablespoons of salt to my proofing solution instead of two teaspoons and the yeast failed to proof so I had to start that over, off to an auspicious start

reserved the salt for the flour and left it out of the second proofing solution and like crazy, so now I have a beautiful hideous dough baby that's gonna spend the next hour-ish rising into a handsome pretzel boy

Er. The solution proofed like crazy. but I did not proofread when tooting about proofing.

gave the kids a bath, an egg wash, and a bit of salt and cheddar and now they're in the oven

okay I might be biased because I am both flush with a sense of accomplishment and it's also warm and soft from the oven but this is unquestionably the best soft pretzel I've ever eaten.
