Pretzel Bread  Baking bread, whether as an occupation or as a
hobby, is extremely satisfying. Bakers have almost complete
control over their bread, requiring little more than some very
simple ingredients, time and the willingness to get his or her
hands a little messy.  Pretzel bread is not quite a simple as
flat bread or dinner rolls, but the loaves come out of the oven
with a deep, brown pretzel crust and a slightly sweet, tender
center. This particular recipe should be treated as a base to
which other ingredients may be added. Cinnamon and extra brown
sugar can create a sweet pretzel, or garlic and other spices can
create a more savory pretzel. The loaves can be baked into mini-
loaves, sandwich loaves or just cut into chunks and served as a
snack. If you come up with something good, leave it in the
comments.  But now for the bread.  Makes : 2 small loaves.  Prep
time : 3-4 hours (including rise time).  Ingredients :  1 packet
