These Honey Wheat Soft Pretzels are pretty amazing. My son got braces a couple of weeks ago. The orthodontist said that he couldn’t have any crunchy foods. Dry pretzels are one of his go to snacks so he was pretty devastated. So, I started looking for some recipes for a pretzel-like snack that is softer and easier on his mouth. And that’s how this recipe was born. It came out so good. I’m embarrassed to say that I think I had more pretzels then my son did. It was at least a tie for sure. When warm, they are good on their own or with honey mustard sauce.

- 3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
