Warm, pillowy soft pretzels coated in a crisp cinnamon-sugar mixture, perfect for indulgent snacks or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over it and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Add salt and flour to the bowl. Stir until a rough dough forms, then knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each into a pretzel twist.
- In a large pot, boil several quarts of water and stir in baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds on each side, then drain and place on a baking sheet.
- Brush each pretzel with beaten egg and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix ½ cup sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Roll warm pretzels in the mixture until coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
