Baking Tips

-Lye Handling: Ensure you wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area when handling the lye solution. Use food-grade lye only. -For a sweeter twist, replace rock salt with cinnamon sugar for dessert pretzels. -To make a vegan sandwich, skip the cheese and use a vegan dressing alternative.
