Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon (for coating)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- Add the flour and salt to the mixture. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for approximately 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the baking soda.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces (about 1-inch each). Roll each piece into a ball and then shape them into bite-sized pretzel shapes.
- Boil the pretzel bites in the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds each, then remove with a slotted spoon and place onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Brush the pretzel bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle a generous amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the pretzel bites are baking, prepare the dipping sauce by melting butter and mixing it with a little more cinnamon-sugar to your taste.
- Let the pretzel bites cool for a few minutes before serving them warm with the dipping sauce!
