Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.
- Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 30 minutes, covered with a towel.
- In a pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add baking soda to the boiling water.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces and shape each into a pretzel.
- Boil each pretzel in the baking soda water for 30 seconds.
- Place pretzels on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle over the pretzels.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast.
- Do not skip the boiling step; it gives pretzels their chewy texture.
- Feel free to adjust the cinnamon sugar topping to your taste.
