Description

Air Fryer Soft Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels are warm, fluffy, and coated with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a quick homemade snack or dessert with a delightful soft texture and a hint of cinnamon sweetness.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 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

Finishing

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and stir until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow it to rise slightly and become easier to shape.
  4. Shape the Pretzels: Divide the rested dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then twist and shape each rope into a pretzel shape.
  5. Prepare Baking Soda Bath: Dissolve the baking soda in 2 cups of warm water. Dip each pretzel into the baking soda bath for about 10 seconds. This step helps create the classic pretzel crust.
  6. Air Fry the Pretzels: Place the pretzels in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Air fry them at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Brush with Butter: Remove the pretzels from the air fryer and immediately brush them with melted unsalted butter for added flavor and softness.
  8. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix the cinnamon and granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture over the warm pretzels or roll the pretzels in the cinnamon sugar to fully coat them.

Notes

  • Serve the pretzels warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • For extra indulgence, you can add a drizzle of icing on top of the cinnamon sugar coating.
