I made these pretzels today, and they turned out great! I would like to make them a little denser than they came out of the oven, because the Philadelphia pretzels I remember were very dense and heavy. I swear they must weigh a pound each! I remember that they would be sold by vendors who worked the busy intersections. When the light was red, they would come around with brown paper bags with 4 pretzels for a buck. If you wanted one, you handed the guy a dollar, and you got a bag of pretzels. These pretzels were never warm, but they were great tasting, almost a meal in themselves. I now live in Florida, so I am going to try to adjust the recipe to get those Philadelphia pretzels!
