This is a very tasteful and pleasing soft pretzel to either make as a breakfast dish, or share with friends at parties. I like to make these for breakfast becuase they are basically replacing a morning cinnamon roll. This recipe, you may notice, is nearly identical to a cinnamon roll recipe, they taste very similar.
Soft Pretzels
(makes between 18-30 pretzels)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. warm water
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
3 tbsp active yeast
2 beaten eggs (*or 2 egg whites)
1 1/2 tsp salt
5 1/4 c. flour
Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
1. Set warm water in mixer and evenly sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the water. Let that proof for about 10 min in the mixer.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients adding flour last. Mix for 10 min.
3. Take dough and place on a well oiled surface, then cover the dough with a towel. Let rest for 10 min.
4. Divide dough in half, and then half again. Take one of the quarters of dough and separate it into small round dough balls.
5. Roll one of the small dough balls out on a counter top covered with cinnamon sugar. Roll the dough into a long thin snake.
6. Fold into the shape of a twisty pretzel. Sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar and place on baking sheet.
7. Bake at 400 Degrees for 7-15 min. The time may vary depending on the size of your pretzels, so be watchful.
8. Place pretzels on a cooling rack and then generously coat with glaze. Enjoy!
