Does anyone know how to make pretzels and/or bagels? I just tried making some soft pretzels from a newspaper recipe, egad! I ended up with very curly breadsticks! Not only that, they didn't even get browned like I fully expected they would. I've never seen soft pretzels or bagels with a hard crust! What is the secret that I'm missing? How do you make those little devils so that they have a soft 'skin' instead of a hard crust? Dan Coutu ...decvax!sultan!djc w q

I have recipes for pretzels (the soft kind) and bagels. They are in a cookbook called 'Better than Store-Bought'. I bought the cookbook at least 4 years ago. However, I've tried the bagel recipe twice and had poor results. I'll try to remember to bring in the pretzel recipe sometime this week and post it. -deborah gronke bennett fortune!dsd!atd!avsdT:deborah Ampex Corporation

I just saw someone say they had poor luck with the "Better than Store
Bought" recipe. That's really too bad, because I've used about four different
bagel recipes over the last few years, and that is by far the best one I've
found. Basically it is very hard to get the right texture and contrast between
the crust and the inside.
Anyway, I still recommend both the book, "Better than Store Bought", and
its bagel recipe.
