Ingrédients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup warm water 105-115°F
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the pumpkin puree and melted butter. Add the salt.
  3. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 10-12 inches long. Twist into pretzel shapes.
  7. Place the pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
  9. Brush the tops of the pretzels generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a chewier pretzel, you can boil them in a baking soda solution for 30 seconds before baking.
