The best way to celebrate a Friday is with a delicious pretzel roll. I needed hotdog rolls for one of my delicious German inspired gourmet hotdogs (recipe coming soon), so it got me thinking. Why not make pretzel rolls for a really delicious treat.
These rolls are soft in the middle yet crunchy on the outside. It can be formed into dinner rolls or hotdog buns.
