⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Rest Time: 1 hr
Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins
Servings: 8 pretzels

📝 Ingredients List:

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (100–110°F)
1 tbsp granulated sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup baking soda
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
2 tsp ground cinnamon

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Stir in 1 tbsp sugar and let sit 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter.
Stir to form a dough, then knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each into an 18-inch rope and twist into pretzel shapes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Stir in the baking soda.
Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush each pretzel with beaten egg.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle generously over pretzels.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy! 😋

💡 Pro Tips:

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in oven for best texture.
Substitutions: Use whole wheat flour for a slightly nuttier taste.
Make Ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate overnight—just let it rise before shaping.
Serving Ideas: Serve with cream cheese frosting dip or a drizzle of caramel for dessert-style pretzels.
