These cinnamon sugar pretzel sticks are a warm, sweet, and irresistible treat. Soft, chewy pretzel dough is coated in a buttery cinnamon-sugar mixture that creates a perfectly sweet crunch on the outside.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda (for the boiling water)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for cinnamon sugar coating)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, stirring until the dough begins to come together. Once the dough forms, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, about 10-12 inches long. Cut the ropes into smaller 4-inch pretzel sticks.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Carefully drop the pretzel sticks into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake the pretzel sticks in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  8. While the pretzels bake, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Once the pretzel sticks are done baking, brush them with melted butter and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  9. Allow the pretzel sticks to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 16 pretzel sticks and takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish, including rising and baking time.
  • These pretzel sticks are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
