Homemade Pretzels
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cup warm water ((110 degrees F/45 degrees C))
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 4 cups hot water
- 1/4 cup kosher salt (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Directions
These pictures are from a long long time ago when I had my sister in law and nephew at our house visiting. We decided to make a batch of pretzels and the fun ensued. I prepared the dough in advance and then let everyone make their own.

We made ones with kosher salt, parmesan cheese, cinnamon sugar and even some wrapped around hot dogs.

By the end, we just made little pretzel bites since we were getting tired…

But my favorite was definitely the cinnamon sugar ones…

Well, I think that’s enough pictures. ENJOY!
