Making Pretzels

So Mondays my day off from my full time role which brings in the regular pennies... I am usually making something and today it's sweet cinnamon glazed pretzels.  Taken from my magazine subscription to 'Something Sweet'  Water Yeast, bread flour and Sugar I have in my cupboard so let's start

After waiting 2 hours for the dough to rise I then cut into 24 similar sized balls.  Rolled into a sausage and twisted to form the pretzel shape.  These were then boiled in water with bicarb of soda added for just 30 seconds.  placed into the oven until lightly golden.  This is the result.

Glazed with a cinnamon sugar syrup... delicious.

Sweet Treats

So todays challenge is taking a step away from cakes to work on Sweets.  I am going to be making grape flavoured boiled sweets.  They would be lollipops but, I need my sticks for another project.  Carefully boiling up the sugar to the right temperature and adding colouring and Grape flavour.  In the background I have Zumbos Desserts playing.. Always good for research I find :-) Here is the end result and I love them xxx  Let me know what you think?

I am a busy working Mum of 2 boys who has a creative edge that just won't leave.  I MUST develop and create something every day!  I love to be challenged in whatever product I am working on and always try to over deliver.  Writing a blog is something new too me and I have no idea how it will turn out... But, here's to my next challenge xxx

This is my latest project.  I am absolutely in love with these Dreamcatchers.  Lots and lots of styles in mind.  Working on a mermaid one and personalised with either a name or saying or favourite quote.  I hope you like them xxx
