Hi
One of my favorite recipes I have found here is
http://weightloss-slim.fit/node/4716/amish-soft-pretzel-recipe-request%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I am hesitant to cook these on my baking stone (Williams Sonoma one) because I do not wish to expose it repeatedly to the pretzel dip (baked Baking Soda and water). I hope to switch to lye in the future and want to get away from aluminum as well.
It works for me. :)
