Ingredients
For the pretzels:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water between 100° and 110° F
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup baking soda
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
Instructions
- In the bowl of stand mixer, combine water and sugar.
- To your stand mixer add the water, sugar and yeast and let sit 10 minutes, until foamy.
- Add in the flour and salt and add in the dough hook, but before you turn it on stir the flour in with a spoon until a dough is made (about 1 minute).
- Turn on the mixer on medium speed (using the dough hook), beat on medium-low speed for 6-8 minutes until the dough is shiny and pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
- Take the dough hook off, pick up the dough ball and coat the mixer bowl with a thin layer of oil then put the dough back in and cover it with a kitchen towel for 1 hour in a warm place (you want the dough to double in size).
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut away small 1/4 cup sized balls of dough, roll them into thin logs and cut 3/4" - 1" pieces and place them onto the baking sheets.
- Once you've cut all the pretzel dough into small pieces (careful to not stack the dough bits on top of each other - use more than one baking sheet), bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Slowly add baking soda (do this slowly because it will react in the pot), then reduce the heat to a medium-low and in small batches cook the pretzel bits for 1 minute (turn them halfway through).
- Remove the pretzels and line them up on the baking sheets.
- Once you've cooked all the batches of pretzels in the baking soda water, bake them for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown.
- To coat them let the pretzels cool for 10 minutes when they come out of the oven, brush them in the melted butter, then in a mixture of the cinnamon and sugar.
