Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzels

Ingredients

• 3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk (warm)
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 tbsp yeast
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for the dough)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for the coating)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (for the coating)
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon
• 0.25 cup baking soda (for boiling water)
• 2 cup water (for boiling)
• butter (melted, for brushing)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, add in warm milk, brown sugar, and yeast. Mix until well combined and let it sit for 9-10 minutes to bloom.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, add in the flour and the bloomed yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured work surface for 9-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough ball into a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

6. 6

   Separate the dough into even dough balls (should make around 8-10) and let them rest for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Roll out each ball to your desired size and length, then twist and form into a pretzel shape.

8. 8

   In a large pan on medium-high heat, add two cups of water and 1/4 cup baking soda. Mix and wait until it comes to a boiling point.

9. 9

   Place the pretzels in the pan and let them boil for 20-30 seconds.

10. 10

    Place the boiled pretzels on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown.

11. 11

    Take the pretzels out of the oven and immediately brush them with melted butter.

12. 12

    Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cover the buttered pretzels with the cinnamon sugar mixture and enjoy!

Notes

The recipe makes approximately 8-10 pretzels. Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
