No problem, here's what I learned on my first batch:

make sure you knead the dough long enough. I make whole wheat bread every few weeks and I have to knead it like 15min to get a good rise. This pretzel dough needs at least 10min.

DEFINITELY use the butter and salt. I used coarse sea salt on half, and nothing on the other half just to see what was better, the salted ones were at least 10 times better.

They have an excellent pretzel flavor though, good luck! I'm interested to hear how the lye ones turn out lol
