Pumpkin Soft Pretzels (Two Ways)
Pumpkin Soft Pretzels (two ways)- Homemade soft pretzels made with pumpkin! Dip them in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat or spread on some cinnamon butter for a salty and comforting twist.
Pumpkin. Soft. Pretzels….Is it too soon? It’s not too soon, right? I mean, I have to have the pumpkin recipes ready for when you guys are ready to start making them! So here we go, the first pumpkin recipe of the season. These pretzels are simple and made with pumpkin puree, but yet the pumpkin is relatively subtle, in my humble opinion!
I made them two-ways. You can either brush them in some melted butter and then dip and cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat or you can sprinkle them with salt with a smear of cinnamon butter. Both versions are scrumptious, but I’m personally more partial to the more plain ones with salt.
To make these Pumpkin Soft Pretzels, you will need:
- active (or instant) yeast
- granulated sugar
- water
- all-purpose or bread flour
- pumpkin puree
- butter
- baking soda
- ground cinnamon
- coarse or flaked sea salt
Recipe Tips and Suggestions:
- As with any bread recipe involving yeast, make sure you plan ahead to allow time for the dough to rise.
- I considered adding cinnamon to the dough, but I ending up not adding it, BUT I feel like it would be a nice touch as long as you don’t overdo it, especially if you are going to make the cinnamon sugar version.
- I love the simplicity of butter with some cinnamon, but you could also add a touch of sugar or honey to the butter for a little bit of sweetness if desired!
- I recommend if you are going to brush these in butter and the cinnamon sugar, let them cool for a bit after they are done baking so they are not too hot, otherwise the sugar and cinnamon will just melt right off and make a mess.
- These pretzels are even better when warmed!
