Soft Cinnamon Pretzels with Vanilla Icing

Ingredients

• 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cake flour
• 2 to 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons baking soda
• 2 cups hot water (120 to 130 degrees)
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in brown sugar and salt. Add cake flour; stir well. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has risen slightly, about 30 minutes.
2. Punch dough down; divide into 14 balls. Roll each ball into a 15-inch rope. In a large bowl, dissolve baking soda in hot water. Dip each rope in baking soda mixture; drain on paper towels.
3. Form dough into pretzel shapes and place on greased baking sheets. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. 
4. Brush pretzels with butter; then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
5. Bake at 400º degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
