1/2 jar (8 oz) of Ragu cheese Creations! Double Cheddar Sauce
1 medium tomato chopped
5 slices of bacon crisp cooked and crumbled (you can also use tastefully Simple Bacon Bacon — it would be about 1/3 of a cup)
1 loaf of Italian bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine Ragu cheese Creations! Double Cheddar Sauce, tomato (as you can see from the picture, I did not use the tomato part of this recipe — Bill doesn’t really care for warm tomatoes — however they were still good without it), and bacon. On a baking sheet, arrange bread slices and top with sauce mixture. Bake 10 minutes or until sauce mixture is bubbling.

1 package yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
4 cups flour
1 egg, beaten
course salt

Measure warm water into large mixing bowl. Sprinkle on yeast and stir until it looks soft. Add salt, sugar, and flour. Mix and knead dough.

Every child gets small ball of dough to roll and twist into letters, numerals, snakes, and things. Grease cookie sheets.

Lay twisted pretzels on cookie sheets. Brush pretzels with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes.

I got this recipe from Madison’s cooking class and the pretzels are excellent! If 4 year olds can do this, anyone can!
