Ingredients

• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Baking soda
• 4 cups Hot water
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir until the yeast dissolves, then let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, dissolve the baking soda in 4 cups of hot water to create a baking soda bath. Set aside.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 20-22 inches long, and twist into a pretzel shape.

Step 7

Dip each shaped pretzel into the baking soda bath, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

While the pretzels are baking, mix the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.

Step 10

Once the pretzels are out of the oven, brush them generously with the melted butter for topping.

Step 11

Immediately dip or sprinkle the warm pretzels with the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring even coating.

Step 12

Serve the pretzels warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
