Ingredients

Scale

1 cup warm water (110°F)
2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup baking soda
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
½ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
2 tbsp ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape into pretzels.
Boil water in a pot and add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for about 30 seconds before placing them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar topping.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
