Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Add the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch the risen dough down, divide it into 12 pieces, roll each into a long rope, and shape into pretzels.
- In a large pot, boil 10 cups of water and baking soda. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on the baking sheet.
- Brush pretzels with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture, then bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
