Ingredients

Scale

Pretzel Dough

  • 1 batch of pretzel dough (about 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast, 1 1/2 cups warm water, 1 tbsp sugar, 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp salt)

Topping

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and add sugar. Let it activate for 5 minutes until foamy. Then mix in the flour and salt, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  2. Shape pretzel bites: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface into long ropes. Cut into 1-inch pieces and shape as desired or leave as bite-sized chunks.
  3. Bake pretzels: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place pretzel bites on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Prepare cinnamon sugar: While pretzels bake, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
  5. Toss pretzel bites: Remove baked pretzel bites from the oven and immediately toss them in melted butter, then coat them evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Serve warm: Serve the cinnamon sugar pretzel bites warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy them as a sweet snack or dessert.

Notes

  • To speed up the process, you can use store-bought pretzel dough or refrigerated pizza dough as a substitute.
  • For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter to toss the pretzel bites.
  • Be careful not to overbake—the pretzel bites should be golden but still soft inside.
  • Serve with cream cheese or vanilla glaze dipping sauce for added indulgence.
