Homemade Pretzels

1 tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1 tsp. honey
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 325°F. Put yeast in a small bowl with water and honey. Stir a little, then let mixture sit for 5 minutes. Mix flour and salt together in a medium bowl. After the 5 minutes is up, check on yeast mixture. It should be bigger than before and a little bubbly. Add yeast mixture to flour and salt mixture. Stir everything together, using a spoon to start, finishing with your hands. Dough is ready when it is still a little crumbly and flaky. Place dough on cutting board and knead into one big ball. Break off a piece of dough about the size of a big gumball or superball. Use your hands to roll into a skinny snake. Twist snake into a medium-sized pretzel shape, and place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, making 12 pretzels. Bake 10 minutes and allow to cool slightly.
