Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For Boiling: 8 cups water, 1/2 cup baking soda
  • For Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and salt. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, pumpkin puree, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and baking soda to a boil.
  7. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 24 inches long. Shape into a pretzel.
  8. Carefully lower each pretzel into the boiling water for 30 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. While the pretzels are baking, melt butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
  11. Brush the baked pretzels with melted butter and then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating well.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
