Your video is very helpful to me, I have a hard time doing the flipping thing. This one makes it easy for me. I need to learn it for my job. Thank you soooo much!

Wow, short and to the point! Great tip putting the larger part away from you, makes twisting the ends much easier! Your book is great btw, very well structured and easy to follow.

I've never tried to make pretzels! Guess I'd better give it a shot!

I make sourdough pretzels but my knot was not so pretty. Will use your technique next time. Thank you!!

Mine refuse to stay stretched out! What am I doing wrong? By the time I get them out of the frig they look more like bagels than pretzels!

Thank you for the slow tutorial. I literally just went through 5-6 videos with people flinging it and doing it too fast to fully see. I got it for the most part, but yours gave me the key piece of the pie. 🫡
