Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites

 

Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • All-purpose flour: 2 cups
  • Instant yeast: 1 teaspoon
  • Sugar: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Warm water: ¾ cup
  • Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons

For the Baking Soda Bath:

  • Water: 4 cups
  • Baking soda: ¼ cup

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • Granulated sugar: ½ cup
  • Cinnamon powder: 2 teaspoons
  • Butter (melted): 2 tablespoons

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add the melted butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 30–45 minutes or until doubled in size.

2. Shape the Pretzel Bites:

  1. Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal parts.
  2. Roll each part into a long rope (about ½ inch thick).
  3. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form bite-sized pretzels.

3. Prepare the Baking Soda Bath:

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
  2. Stir in the baking soda until dissolved.
  3. Drop the pretzel bites into the water in small batches (about 10–15 pieces at a time). Let them boil for 30 seconds.
  4. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. Bake the Pretzel Bites:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Brush the boiled pretzel bites with melted butter.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:

  1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  2. Brush the warm pretzel bites with melted butter and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Serve:

Enjoy your cinnamon sugar pretzel bites warm. Optionally, serve with a cream cheese dip or a vanilla glaze for an extra treat!

Tips for Perfect Pretzel Bites:

  • Baking Soda Bath: This step gives the pretzels their chewy texture and classic flavor, so don’t skip it.
  • Softness: Keep an eye on the oven; overbaking can make them too firm.
  • Make Ahead: You can freeze unbaked pretzel bites and bake them later.

For TV and Computer users(how to avoid eye problems)

The eye was not made to be constantly focused on close objects.If your work requires that you stare at a computer screen all day long or if you watch a lot of television, stop from time to time to do a few eye exercises.For example, roll your eyes in large circles in both directions; look over to each side as far as possible and then go from up to down; or scan an imaginary text on the wall from left to right; or look out the window as far as you can following the horizon then return to a point right in front of you and begin again.In this way, you will avoid long term eye problems, you will enlarge your inner space, and relax both your eyes and your mind.
