When it comes to kid-friendly desserts, you can't go wrong with a bite-sized pastry like these yummy cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites. They are coated in cinnamon and sugar, have a thin, sweet crust, and the softest, fluffiest interior you can imagine. Combine these pretzel bites with a sweet cream cheese dip, and they will be gone in one sitting!
Method of preparing the coating:
-
Set 1/2 the melted butter in a small bowl. Set the sugar and cinnamon in another.
-
Mix the remaining 1/2 stick butter with powdered sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
Method of preparing the dough:
-
In a large bowl, stir together the yeast and water, the sugar, and butter. Add in the flour 1 cup at a time until the dough isn't sticky. If more flour is needed, add 1 tbsp at a time until no longer sticky.
-
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Form a ball, grease a bowl, and insert the ball. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (215°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
-
Boil 9 cups of water and baking soda. Cut the dough into 6 equal parts.
-
Roll each part into 6 ropes about 20-22 inches in length. Then cut each part into 10-12 inch pieces.
-
Blanch the dough pieces in the water for no longer than 30 seconds. Work in batches and remove the bites with a slotted spoon.
-
Whisk the egg with 1 tbsp of water to make an eggwash. Brush the cooked pretzel bites with the egg wash.
-
Bake the pretzel bites for 15 minutes until golden brown.
-
Dip them into the melted butter you prepared ahead. Then roll in the sugar-cinnamon coating.
-
Serve with the cream cheese dipping and enjoy!
