-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Pretzels:
1 1/2 cups warm water -- about 85F
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour -- to 2C
Water Bath:
2 cups warm water -- about 85F
2 tablespoons baking soda
Topping:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Pretzels are best eaten the day they are made.
You can cover and chill the dough after it has risen. Can be
refrigerated for up to 2 days after made. Make sure you leave extra
room in your container because the dough will continue to rise.
There is no butter or oil in the dough. The pretzels are still
really soft, and it means that you can save the butter for the
outside. These pretzels are dipped in the water bath, not
boiled. The dipping method leaves the outside to have a little chew
but still be fairly soft. When pretzels are boiled the crust is
harder then with dipping them as in this recipe.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a
lg bowl if mixing by hand), stir together warm water, yeast, and
brown sugar. Let yeast mixture stand for 5-20 min or until foamy.
Once the yeast is foamy, stir in cinnamon, salt, and bread flour.
Stir in all-purpose flour 1/2C at a time until dough comes
together. Dough will be a little sticky. If you touch the dough, it
should pull with your finger but shouldn't come off on your finger.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 1/2 hr
or until doubled.
Toward the end of the rising time, preheaat oven to 425F. Line
baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and spray
with nonstick cooking spray.
To prepare the water bath, stir together remaining 2C warm water and
2T of baking soda in a med bowl.
Shape dough into knots, bites, or other desired shape.
Submerge dough in waterbath, and then place dough on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 8-10 min for a 2" knot.
Toward the end of the baking time, melt butter in a small dish.
In a separate small dish, stir together sugar and cinnamon.
Remove pretzels from oven.
Immediately dip pretzels in melted butter and then into cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place on wire rack to cool.
