These Lightened Up Soft Pretzels are a great way to indulge without all the guilt!<\/em><\/p>\n

Walking through the mall it’s almost impossible to not stop and take in a giant whiff of soft warm pretzel. They are even better with a nice cup of warm Nacho Cheese sauce!<\/p>\n

The only problem is that one of those pretzels have over 370 calories, and 4 grams of fat!<\/em><\/strong> Thanks to Laura’s\u00a0request I thought I should tackle this Guilty Pleasure, and this is what I came up with…<\/p>\n

Add the yeast to the warm water and stir until muddy, let it sit till it foams on top.<\/p>\n

\"Yeast<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour into a standing mixer and add the sugar and salt.\u00a0Slowly add the flour, one cup at a time until it’s all mixed in\u00a0and no longer sticky. Place the dough on\u00a0a floured counter top and roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Use a pizza or dough cutter to slice into strips.<\/p>\n

Wrap the dough into the traditional pretzel form or into sticks, let your kids make their own shapes!<\/p>\n

I sprayed my pretzels with Pam (butter flavor) to get a more crisp outside, then baked them at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until light brown. You can also sprinkle with coarse salt, garlic powder, chopped onion, or any other favorite spice or herb! I used garlic powder for mine.<\/p>\n

These pretzels were very delicious! I had so many that I sent a batch over to my neighbor! I did attempt to make a cheese sauce, but I’m not going to give you the recipe… I didn’t really like it. hehe. But I saw that a great substitute would be the Velveeta Cheese Light!<\/p>\n

These pretzels came out to only 94 calories<\/em><\/strong> and just 0.5 grams of fat!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Plus by adding the whole wheat flour I also punched up the grams\u00a0fiber!<\/p>\n

These are a great snack that you can enjoy any time of the day! Having my kids home for the summer, it was also a fun thing they could join in on! {They love to help me cook!}<\/p>\n
