Let’s get started Creating this Soft Pretzel Recipe
Ingredients Needed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup milk (warmed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg – beaten
- Butter
- Cinnamon & Sugar (1 part cinnamon to 4 parts sugar) – or in other words 1 tsp cinnamon mix with 4 tsp sugar.
To Make them crispy
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
How To Make This Cinnamon Pretzel Recipe
It is a pretty simple recipe. First, start by preheating your over to 375 degrees. After this, prepare a baking sheets by either lining it with parchment paper or by using a silicone mat. If using parchment paper, once lined lightly spray with cooking oil. This will prevent sticking. From experience even if lined there may be a few that do not corporate.
Then combine all your dry ingredients together. Until well mixed.
Combine olive oil, beaten egg and warm milk together. Then add into dry ingredients and mix well.
The crumbly dough will come together with just a bit of kneading to form into a ball. Allow the ball of dough to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Form this dough into any shape you want. I like simple sticks for easy dipping and portions. So, I roll or pat out the dough into a loaf shape, then cut the sticks and roll them out.
Then place them on a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking in the oven!
Time to make them crispy
This is an important step. This step will create a soft and chewy inside will making the outside crispy. You will not want to skip this step.
- Next in a small bowl mix 1/2 cup warm water and 2 teaspoons baking soda.
- Dip the rolled dough sticks into the water mixture.
- Do not soak or keep each rolled pretzel stick in the mixture longer than 20 seconds. If left to soak your dough will breakdown and create a very sticky situation.
After this step you are now ready to place on a greased baking sheet (using your silicone mat) and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Brush with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
I love making these as a fun dessert on pizza night. Cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on these are perfect for adding that sweetness you want, and you can even whip up a little powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make a dip or glaze!
Kids will definitely fight over these, so make sure to have equal portions for sharing!
