Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp. yeast
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
Bath
- 2 cup HOT water
- 3 Tbsp. baking soda
Topping
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- cinnamon and sugar
Dipping Glaze
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2-2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Mix water/yeast. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes or until it is foamy.
- Mix dry ingredients together. Add water/yeast mixture, oil and pumpkin puree to dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.
- Brush bowl with oil or spray with non stick cooking spray and return dough to bowl. Cover loosely with a towel and let raise until doubled, about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Make a bath for the pretzels by combining the baking soda with HOT water in a bowl and stirring until soda is mostly dissolved (it won't dissolve completely).
- Roll out dough into a long rectangle (about 12"x24"). Using a pizza cutter, cut into small bite-sized sections. Dip each dough square into the water/soda bath, allowing excess to drip off, and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 4 minutes, then rotate pan and bake another 4 minutes.
- Brush pretzels with melted butter. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and sugar.
- Whisk icing ingredients together. Drizzle over cooled pretzel bites or use as a dipping sauce.
