=Ingredients=
1 package active dry yeast (1/4 oz.)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 1/2 cups warm water (110f, bath water)

3 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tsp. kosher salt

4 cups all purpose flour, plus additional if needed

1/2 tsp. vegetable oil

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/3 cup sugar

== Step 2 ==
In another bowl whisk salt with flour. Add to yeast mixture 1 cup at a time and mix until dough forms. Dust work surface with flour, and need for 8-10 minutes. Add flour as needed, slight stickiness is OK.

== Step 3 ==
Wipe any dough from mixing bowl then add oil to bowl. Use a paper towel to spread it around, coating the surface. Form the dough into a ball and place it in bowl. Cover bowl loosely with plastic and let dough rise in warm place for 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in bulk.

== Step 4 ==
Punch down dough to remove excess bubbles and roll into a ball. Divide ball into 12 equal pieces and place on work surface. Rinse bowl make baking soda bath by mixing water with baking soda. Set aside.

== Step 5 ==
Preheat oven to 425f. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or foil and spray with vegetable cooking spray. In a small bowl mix cinnamon and sugar.

== Step 6 ==
To form a traditional pretzel shape roll each piece of dough into a snake 22 inches long. Form a letter 'u', then cross the ends over each other once then twice to form a twist. Pull the ends down attaching it to the bottom pinching the dough so that it sticks together. Or you can make any other shape you like - because clearly you would not have done this if we hadn't said it was OK.

== Step 7 ==
Stir soda bath. Dip pretzels one at a time into mixture, then blot on a kitchen towel. Place 6 pretzels on each baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar and bake for 12 minutes, or until pretzels are golden. May be frozen.

= Variations =
== Chocolate ==
Replace 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa. Sift in with flour. Sprinkle with course decorative sugar.

Add 1 tsp. cinnamon to flour. Add 1/2 cup currants or raisins while kneading.
== Maple Walnut ==

-Glad you had some time off to enjoy your family this hoidaly season!  I missed your blog posts :-)I have been eating all kinds of goodies for the last week, and my clothes are getting a little tight! hahahaha  You are lucky you have not had that problem.  I am swearing off the sweets though...they are evil. LOL!!Enjoy your New Years!!!!
+== Step 6 ==
-I saw this recipe a few <a href="http://ogcyudze.com">monhts</a> ago, they looked delicious! I mean what's not to love, salty pretzels (love them), peanut butter (love it), chocolate (love it) all three together? It has to be delicious! I would love to meet the person who thought it would be a good idea to put chocolate and peanut butter together, Genius!a0 I got this recipe from Stephanies Kitchen.
+== Step 7 ==
-I recently moved back to the fmlaiy farm here in Green County, Wisconsin.  I'm just a part time grain farmer, but our fmlaiy has been making real maple for over 75 years.  We make just enough maple syrup to feed the fmlaiy and give away.  I'm almost embarrassed to say it, but my kids still only have the  store  maple syrup. Guess i can't complain too much, maybe some of my corn is in that syrup. http://fndoyrp.com [url=http://ztvulrckb.com]ztvulrckb[/url] [link=http://hupqekqg.com]hupqekqg[/link]
