Cinnamon Soft Pretzels

Cinnamon Soft Pretzels 

 1 pkg yeast (2-1/2 tsp yeast)
1-1/2 cups warm water
2 TBS brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 cups cake flour (1-1/2 cups flour+1/2 cup corn startch)
2 to 2-1/2 cups flour
2 TBS baking soda
2 cups hot water
For coating:
3 TBS butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400. Dissolve the yeast in the water, add the sugar and salt. Add the cake flour and regular flour. Knead 6-8 minutes then place in a greased covered bowl for 30 minutes. Punch the dough down then divide the dough into 14 balls. Roll each ball into a long rope. Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water. Dip each rope into water, and drain on a paper towel. Shape into pretzels, place on greased baking sheet. If you're like me and you can't get the shape to hold, just place the ropes onto a greased baking sheet, and one cooked cut into pretzel bites.
Bake for 15 minutes, so long as the pretzel dough is cooked don't worry about getting them browned-it may take a while for them to brown and by then they will be tough.
Combine the cinnamon and sugar. Brush the pretzels with the butter then dip them into the sugar mixture.
Yields: 14 Pretzels- or a ton of pretzel bites.
*You can also make a glaze to dip them in with 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 TBS milk (give or take), and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
