Makes approximately 80 Cinnamon Sugar Bites

Recipe adapted from Fleischmann’s® Simply Homemade® Pepperoni Pretzel Bites.

Course: Dessert, Baked Goods

Ingredients

  • 1 pretzel Simply Homemade® Pretzel Creations™ brand, package
  • 3/4 cup water 120º to 130ºF, very warm
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil Mazola® brand
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine pretzel mix and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add very warm water and oil and stir until thoroughly combined. (Dough may be stiff; use hands if desired).
  2. Cover dough and let rise 25 minutes in a warm, draft-free place. (Dough will not double in size.)
  3. Divide dough into 8 equal portions; roll each into a 16-inch long rope. Cut each rope into 10 pieces, each piece will be about 1-1/2 inches long. Place the pieces (bites) on 2 greased baking sheets (they can be placed quite close together). Cover bites with towel to prevent them from drying out. Repeat with remaining dough.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  5. Combine 6 cups water with baking soda in a large deep saucepan until water boils (mixture will be foamy). Using a slotted spoon or spatula, dip bites (4 to 5 at a time) into the boiling water for about 15 to 20 seconds, until they rise to the surface. Remove from water and place back on baking sheet. Continue with remaining bites.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes and then switch pans to promote more even browning. While bites are baking combine cinnamon and sugar in a medium size bowl and stir to combine. Bake an additional 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately coat bites with melted butter using a pastry brush.
  7. Working four or five bites at a time, transfer bites that have been brushed with butter to the bowl containing cinnamon and sugar mixture. Coat with cinnamon sugar mixture, then transfer to a clean baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bites.
  8. Bites are delicious served warm and are best eaten the same day.
  9. Recipe note: You won't need the pretzel salt for these.
