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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
