These Soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites are a sure hit with my family. I have made these a couple of times now and they are always the first ones to get consumed.
Ingredients
FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR BITES
2 ½ cups warm water
2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
4 cups flour
3 eggs
FOR THE BAKING SODA BATH
9 cups of water
½ cup baking soda
FOR THE CINNAMON SUGAR COATING
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup sugar
2 ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Add the salt, sugar, and butter. Stir to combine.
Add flour, a cup at a time, until dough is thick and no longer sticky. Poke the dough with finger. If it bounces back, then, it's good.
Flour a surface and knead the dough for 3 minutes or until it forms a smooth ball.
Get another bowl and spray it with oil. Place the dough in there. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425ºF or 220ºC.
Bring 9 cups of water to a boil. Add ½ cup of baking soda.
Pull bite-sized pieces from the dough. Drop into the baking soda bath. Boil them for 20-25 seconds.
Remove dough bites from the bath and place them on a well-oiled baking sheet.
Beat together eggs and brush them over the pretzel bites.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
Dip each pretzel bite into the melted butter, then, roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm.
