SAVE MONEY with the Copy CatAuntieAnn’s recipe
I love finding copy cat recipes to save money with! And even better when I can make it in bulk and freeze them! These are some of my favorite go-to snacks at the mall that I love just making at home now instead!
🥨Warm up the milk in the microwave for just about one and a half minutes. I use my
pyrex measuring cups to heat it in. It should be about 110°.
If it's too hot it will kill the yeast. You should be able to comfortably keep your finger in it.
🥨Stir in the yeast and one tablespoon of the brown sugar and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
🥨Now grab a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer and pour the mixture in it
🥨Add 4 tablespoons of butter and the remaining brown sugar.
🥨Add the flour about 1 cup at a time and then add the fine
salt.
🥨Knead for about 10 minutes with a stand mixer or by hand
🥨Put it in a greased bowl and cover with greased cling wrap
🥨Let rise for 1 hour in a moist, warm place until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 450°.
🥨Punch down dough and divide into 12-14 lumps.
10 Roll each piece with your hands to form a rope as thin as you can.
🥨Combine the warm water and baking soda in a wide bowl
🥨Cut the dough into 1 1/2" pieces, then dip in the baking soda water.
🥨 Place on a greased baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt.
🥨Bake for about 6-10 minutes or until browned.
15 Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter in a microwave safe bowl right after removing the pretzel bites from the oven. Dip each homemade pretzel in the melted 8 tablespoons of butter while hot.
