Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 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 (or plant-based alternative)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm water with yeast and sugar. Let it foam for about 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; stir until dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth (about 5-7 minutes). Let it rise in a covered bowl until doubled (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
- Shape pretzels by dividing the dough into portions, rolling into ropes, twisting, and forming into pretzel shapes.
- Boil each pretzel in baking soda water for about 30 seconds, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
