For an extra touch of flavor, brush the baked pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or garlic powder. Make sure your yeast is active by checking for a foamy mixture after dissolving it in warm water. Don't over-bake the pretzels, or they will become too hard. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or even a drizzle of cheese sauce.
