Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and melted butter, and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape the Pretzel Bites

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baking Soda Bath

    In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Carefully drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pretzel Bites

    Bake the pretzel bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Toss in Cinnamon Sugar

    Mix cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl. Toss the warm pretzel bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
