Calling all cooks!!!! Lukewarm???

[Helopoh]

Is there a specific temp for Lukewarm...My House is lukewarm to me but cold to someone else? What do I do when I need 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water???

Slightly warm to the touch.

Are you baking bread?

Close.... Auntie Annes Pretzels. Found a recipe and DH convinced me to try it. Ill tell you how they turn out..

Don't make the water hot, Helo. It will kill the yeast. Run tap water so it feels warm to the touch (it'll be between 95 and 105 degrees). It's enough to help the yeast react, but not warm enough to kill it.

Please send samples. I love pretzels.

according to my cookbooks, lukewarm is 105 to 115 degrees F. Any hotter and you will kill the yeast. Yummm, pretzles sound perfect for a Super Bowl party!
