Pretzels

Overview

Pretzels are loved by young and old alike. Do it, it will definitely make you lose your teeth. I used bran flour in the pastry, which has a strong wheat flavor. If not, you can use low-gluten flour instead. (The main ingredients are for the dough, and the auxiliary ingredients are for the pastry)
