Pretzels for Lent

We always try to make pretzels for lent.  The story goes that a monk invented pretzels by twisting his bread dough into the shape of the monks arms at prayer to remind his brothers to pray.  This year I used my five minute bread dough, fried them and added some cinnamon sugar.  They were quick to make and tasted more like a doughnut than a traditional pretzel.  And, most importantly, they were enjoyed!
