Dough Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water with active dry yeast and granulated sugar. Let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Combine foamy yeast mixture with dry ingredients and melted butter. Stir to form a dough.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 pieces, and shape each into a pretzel.
Cooking
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil water, add baking soda. Boil each pretzel for 30 seconds.
  2. Place boiled pretzels on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.

To activate yeast, ensure the water is warm, not hot. Boiling pretzels is crucial for the chewy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
