• Soft, chewy, and slightly sweet buns with a golden-brown pretzel crust.
• 3/5 of the family loved them, another 1/5 thought it should be “more pretzel-y”, so still some experimentation needed.

Round 2 (October 2025)

• I made a double batch this time and shrunk the buns down.
• My wife liked the smaller buns better since there was more pretzel crust to bun ratio.

Round 3 (November 2025)

• I made the same smaller buns as last time
• Made to bring to my mom’s place for a family gathering
• These were very well received, everyone enjoyed them
