Soft Pretzel Dough Homemade Cinnamon Sticks

Prep Time: 5 Minutes Cook Time: 10 Minutes Additional Time: 2 Minutes Total Time: 17 Minutes Servings: 24-28 Pretzels

This Soft Pretzel Dough is a perfect and easy snack to prepare. I love using it to make these Homemade Cinnamon Sticks for a quick snack or a tasty dessert! So easy, inexpensive, and perfect for everyone to enjoy.

Since this recipe is made without yeast, it will be without that yeasty taste and will not rise like real pretzel dough. This means these pretzel sticks will have a dense texture.

The key to this recipe is incorporating the best cinnamon type. It makes a world of difference in taste. You can enjoy this soft pretzel dough made with basic bread ingredients. Finish them off with a little cinnamon and sugar. You can opt out of the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle with some kosher salt or dip in your favorite honey mustard sauce.

Ingredients Needed

This recipe will make between 24 and 28 pretzel sticks. It will depend on the size of your pretzel sticks.

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2/3 cup milk (warmed)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 egg – beaten
• Melted 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

• 5 cups water
• 2 tablespoons baking soda

How To Make These Cinnamon Pretzels

STEP ONE: It is a pretty simple recipe. First, start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. After this, prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or 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 cooperate.

STEP TWO: Then combine all your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Until well mixed. I like to use my hands for this part.

STEP THREE: Combine olive oil, beaten egg, and warm milk. Then add into dry ingredients and mix well.

STEP FOUR: 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.

STEP FIVE: 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. I typically cut them in 3-inch stripes.

Then place them on a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking in the oven!

Making Them Chewy

STEP SIX: This is an important step. This step will create a soft and chewy inside. You will not want to skip this step.

First, in a quart saucepan, boil 5 cups of water and add in 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Dip the rolled dough sticks into boiling water for 30 – 45 seconds. They will rise to the top when done.

Then, using a slotted spoon, remove and place on your greased or silicone mat-prepared baking sheet. Do not soak or keep each rolled pretzel stick in the mixture for longer than 30 seconds. If left to soak, your dough will break down and create a very sticky situation.

STEP SEVEN: Bake for 8 minutes at 450 degrees until golden brown.

STEP EIGHT: In a small bowl, melt butter. Then brush pretzels with melted butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
