Cooking Tips

• Make sure the water used for the dough is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
• When shaping the pretzels, make sure to seal the ends well to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
• For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel sauce over the cooled churro pretzels.

Storage and Serving

• Churro pretzels are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Serve the churro pretzels as a snack or dessert, and consider serving them with a side of chocolate sauce or caramel for dipping.
