Making the Pretzel Dough
If you're using homemade dough, here's a simple recipe:
Combine 1 and 1/2 cups of warm water (110°F - 115°F), 2 and 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit until frothy. Then, mix in 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Shaping and Baking the Crisps
After preparing the dough, divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then shape it into a small pretzel. Make a cut about 1/4 inch deep down the center of each pretzel to create the signature look.
In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil and add baking soda. Dip each pretzel briefly into the water, then place them onto a lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
With the crisps ready to be sweetened, it's time to prepare the cinnamon sugar topping. Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl.
Brush the pretzels once more with melted butter, then coat them thoroughly with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Arrange them on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
