Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Yields: 12 servings
Ho, ho, ho! You don’t have to wait for Santa to enjoy some sweet treats! These Cinnamon Sugar Soft Pretzel Bites are here to fill your belly with pure bliss. Imagine soft and chewy pillows of dough, kissed with a buttery cinnamon sugar embrace!
Gather your ingredients, shall we? This sugary symphony starts with the finest flour, warm milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk ’em together and give that yeast some love with a generous sprinkle. Let those little critters do their magic for five minutes, and you’ll witness a bubbly party!
Now, knead, my friend, knead! For five to seven minutes, let your hands dance on the dough, creating a smooth and supple masterpiece. Cover this dough-licious ball and tuck it away in a warm spot. It’s time for the dough to rise and shine, doubling in size!
Now, it’s time to create those bite-sized morsels. Divide the dough into two and roll ’em into long ropes. Chop ’em into 12 equal pieces and roll those pieces into balls. Flatten those balls into bite-sized pretzel shapes and gently place them on a parchment-lined sheet.
Prepare a magical potion—a baking soda bath! Bring a large pot of water to a boil and whisk in some baking soda. Carefully drop those pretzel bites into the bubbling potion for 30 seconds. This bath will give them that signature golden-brown hue!
Next, embrace the warmth of your oven and bake those babies at 425°F for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re kissed with a golden tan. While they’re basking in the oven’s glow, prepare the sweet stuff—a mixture of melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Ah, the symphony of sweet and savory!
Once your pretzels emerge from the oven, give them a warm and comforting dip in that buttery cinnamon sugar mix. Each bite will be a burst of sugary delight, with a hint of that irresistible pretzel tang.
And there you have it! Your own personal pretzel party! Dip ’em in your favorite sauce—mustard, cheese, or even chocolate—and savor every bite of this sweet and savory treat. Enjoy, my pretzel-loving friend!
