Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Sticks:
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup baking soda
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Optional:
- Cream cheese or vanilla glaze for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the pizza dough and cut it into 16 thin strips. Twist each strip slightly and set aside.
- Boil the water: In a large saucepan, bring water and baking soda to a gentle boil.
- Dip the dough: Working in batches, carefully dip the dough strips into the water for about 20 seconds.
- Bake the pretzels: Remove the dough strips with a slotted spoon and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the coating: While the pretzels are baking, combine the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
- Coat the pretzels: Once out of the oven, brush the pretzel sticks with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve: Serve warm with your favorite glaze or dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- For a fun twist, drizzle with melted white chocolate or dip in cream cheese frosting.
- Best enjoyed the same day but can be reheated in the oven.
