That's right, this post should be about pretzels. Let me explain, a few weeks ago, while looking on the Daring Baker's new site..Mehgan from A Craving of Perfection wanted to know about doing past challenges, wanted to know if anyone had went back and made previous ones, and so, this sounded like something that I would like to do. So, Mehgan decided that we should start from the beginning, meaning the pretzel. Now, I have made them before and they turned out fine, so this should be a breeze...right? Well, they were, until I decided that I should wait until we came back from swimming this afternoon before I should butter them, and sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar....wrong! I came home, brushed with melted butter, sprinkled generously with cinnamon sugar and took a bite. Hard as a rock!! So, that is the lesson learned with this...butter and top as soon as they come out of the oven.Now, on to the brioche snails..all I can say about this is YUM! I had left over brioche from the sticky buns and did not want to waste it, so I remembered the brioche raisin snails. I don't really care for raisins, so I substituted them for mini chocolate chips! What you do is, roll out the brioche, spread a layer of pastry cream and top with raisins, or in my case the chocolate chips. Bake them off, top with a glaze and there you go. Delicious! My son ate 3 of them at one time!!
