cinnamon sugar pretzels

I suspect that maybe adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon sugar mixture for this cinnamon sugar soft pretzels recipe might enhance the flavors of the topping a bit. 

As for the glaze, if you prefer using vanilla instead of the coffee simply use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and instead of 2 teaspoons of milk, make it 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon).

When it comes to making any bread dough, I do everything by hand. No machinery is needed for this recipe, but if you are short on time, or don’t have the energy to knead for a good 5-10 minutes, I’ve included instructions on how to make the dough in a stand mixer.

For shaping the pretzels, refer to the four photos in this blog post.
