Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup of warm water into a small bowl.
  2. Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the warm water.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until dissolved.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  5. Mix 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.
  6. Pour the yeast mix into the flour bowl once ready.
  7. Add 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter to the dough.
  8. Mix with a spoon or spatula until the dough forms.
  9. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth.
  10. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel.
  11. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled.
  12. Punch the dough down to release air.
  13. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  14. Roll each piece into an 18 inch rope.
  15. Shape each rope into a pretzel by making a U, twisting the ends, and folding them into the center.
  16. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
  17. Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
  18. Add 1/4 cup of baking soda to the boiling water and stir to dissolve.
  19. Drop each pretzel into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, one at a time.
  20. Use a slotted spoon to lift the pretzels and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  21. Brush the top of each pretzel with the beaten egg.
  22. Mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  23. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the pretzels while the egg wash is still wet.
  24. Bake the pretzels for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
  25. Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider brushing the pretzels with melted butter before adding the cinnamon sugar.
