Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons yeast
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup lukewarm whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • ½ cup cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and light brown sugar. Let sit for five minutes until foamy.
  2. In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Add the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, and room temperature butter; stir until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface until elastic, then place in a greased bowl covered with a towel to rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, and shape into pretzels.
  5. Boil water with baking soda in a large pot; bath each pretzel for 30 seconds before placing on parchment-lined sheets.
  6. Brush with egg yolk wash and bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 14 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Immediately brush with melted butter and roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
