Prep: 45 min | Bake: 18 min | Yield: 24 pretzels
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (1/4 ounce) packet rapid-rising yeast
- 1 1/4 cups (110 to 115 degrees F) warm water
- 4 1/2 cups + extra for kneading all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup dry Nestlé® Carnation® Instant Nonfat Dry Milk
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted, divided
Instructions
- Grease 2 large baking sheets. Combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon in small bowl; set aside.
- Stir yeast into warm water in small bowl. Combine flour, dry milk, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and salt in large bowl. Add 1/2 cup butter and yeast mixture into flour mixture. Stir until blended and sticky dough is formed.
- Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic, adding additional flour as necessary. Cut into 24 pieces. While working with dough, keep covered with plastic wrap. Roll each piece into a 16 inch long rope. To form pretzels, make a U-shape with the rope. Holding the ends of the rope, cross them over each other and press onto the bottom of the U and place on prepared baking sheets. Press ends of pretzel into pretzel dough. Brush with remaining 1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Allow to rise in a warm place for 15 minutes or until risen slightly.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks.
- Serve warm.
- Store remaining tightly covered.
