Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 cups warm milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 1/2 cups flour (more or less as needed)

Finishing:

  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • 3 cups warm water
  • 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Dissolve yeast: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Mix in brown sugar, butter, one cup flour, and salt until combined.
  2. Add flour: Incorporate the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. Let rise for about an hour, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled in size.
  3. Shape pretzels: Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide dough into twelve pieces, roll each into ropes, and twist into pretzel shapes.
  4. Bake: Mix warm water and baking soda in a bowl. Dip each pretzel, place on baking sheets, and bake for 7-11 minutes until golden.
  5. Coat pretzels: Whisk sugar and cinnamon in a dish. Brush pretzels with melted butter, then coat in cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

  • You can customize by adding toppings like nuts or chocolate drizzle.
  • For a savory option, omit cinnamon sugar and try salted pretzels.
