Description

Air Fryer Soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels are warm, fluffy, and coated with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping. They are quick to prepare and cooked perfectly in the air fryer, making them an ideal homemade snack or dessert with a soft texture and a delightful cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Baking Soda Bath

  • 2 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 cups warm water

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and flavor.
  2. Add Water and Form Dough: Pour in the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients come together into a cohesive mixture.
  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, enabling a good texture.
  4. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to allow it to rise and develop flavor.
  5. Shape Pretzels: Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and shape them into traditional pretzel forms.
  6. Prepare Baking Soda Bath: Dissolve the baking soda in warm water to create a bath. Dip each pretzel into this solution for about 10 seconds to give the pretzels their characteristic crust and color.
  7. Air Fry the Pretzels: Place the pretzels in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
  8. Butter and Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Brush the hot pretzels with melted butter. In a separate bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar, then sprinkle or roll each pretzel in the cinnamon sugar for a sweet, aromatic coating.

Notes

  • Serve the pretzels warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can optionally add a drizzle of icing on top for extra sweetness.
