Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels Recipe - Delicious Italian Dessert

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water (Around 110°F (43°C))
  • 2 tbsp sugar (For dough)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon (For topping)
  • 1 cup butter, melted (For coating)
  • 1 cup sugar (For cinnamon sugar mixture)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

    Use water that's not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Combine Ingredients

    Add flour to the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.

    Knead for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Let the Dough Rise

    Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.

    The dough should double in size.
  4. Shape the Pretzels

    Divide the dough into small pieces, roll each into a rope, and shape into pretzels.

    Make sure to twist the pretzel shape properly.
  5. Bake the Pretzels

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pretzels for 12-15 minutes until golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar

    Immediately brush baked pretzels with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

    Serve warm for the best taste.
