Ingredients

  • for the pretzels:
  • 2 cups warm milk or non-dairy alternative
  • tablespoons yeast
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 4 ½ cups flour, more or less as needed
  • Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
  • cup baking soda
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  • Using a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Feel free to use
    non-dairy milk if you prefer. Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes.
  • Next, add in the brown sugar, salt, butter. Then, the flour (one cup at a time
    until fully incorporated
  • Mix until smooth, the dough will be slightly sticky, but that is okay. Cover the
    bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap that you have perforated and let rise
    until doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour
  • Preheat the oven to 450. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and
    set aside.
  • Next, you will divide the dough into equal-sized pieces, about 12-16 and roll
    each piece into a long skinny rope. Loop around itself and twist into a pretzel
    shape
  • Boil your water in a medium to the large-sized pot, and once it reaches a boil,
    add in the baking soda until dissolved. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda
    mixture, letting it sit for 20 seconds, any more than this and they will taste
    “metallic-y”, using a slotted spoon, place on the prepared baking sheets.
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and smelling delicious.
  • Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow baking pan or bowl.
    Brush the pretzels with melted butter, then dip them in the cinnamon sugar
    mixture, coating evenly
  • Enjoy while warm.
