Ingredients
- 1 can of ready-to-bake pizza dough (I used Pillsbury)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Bring a large stock pot full of water to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, divide dough into five or six equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin rope about 20-inches long. Form each rope into a pretzel shape by making a U-shape, then crossing the ends and sealing the ends of the dough at the base of the U. Make sure to pinch ends together to seal well.
Place dough pretzels in the boiling water, two at a time, and boil for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from water with a slotted spatula and transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining four pretzels. Once pretzels have all been boiled, combine the egg yolk and water mixture and brush over pretzels. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and cayenne. Sprinkle over the pretzels. Top with Kosher salt to taste. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and baked through. Remove from oven and serve.
