Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Master Sweet Dough
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 large egg white
6 tablespoons pearl sugar
Ingredient info: Pearl sugar, a coarse sugar used for decorating baked goods, is available at specialty foods stores and kingarthurflour.com.

Steps:

  • Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment. Punch down dough; divide into 12 equal pieces.
  • Working with 1 piece at a time and keeping remaining dough covered with a kitchen towel, roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 17"- long rope. Form rope into a U shape. Lift top of left end; fold over or under opposite side; press together gently about two-thirds down from the top of right side. Lift right end up, fold over, and press in or tuck under, forming a pretzel shape. Repeat with remaining dough. Divide pretzels between sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Loosely cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until slightly puffed but not doubled in size, 30-45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F. Beat egg white and 2 teaspoons warm water in a small bowl. Brush each pretzel all over with egg wash, then sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon pearl sugar.
  • Bake for 10 minutes; rotate baking sheets and continue baking until pretzels are golden, 6-8 minutes longer. Let pretzels cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of pretzels, but these sweet pretzels are actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

I made these pretzels for my kids and they loved them. They're a great way to get them to eat something sweet without all the sugar.

Not a fan of these pretzels. They're too sweet and the texture is a bit off.

I've tried making these pretzels several times and they never turn out right. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

These sweet pretzels were a hit with my family! They're soft, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again.
