Cinnamon Yogurt Pretzels Recipe Recipe For Lasagna

CINNAMON SOFT PRETZELS (NO YEAST!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour with yogurt and mix well, until combined. Using your hands, form into a ball of dough.
• Lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Add a tablespoon of flour onto the ball of dough, and transfer the dough onto the floured surface. Press into a ball shape, and divide into 8 equal pieces.
• Re-flour the surface and get one of the pieces of dough. Using your hands, roll out into a thin, sausage shape, around 12 inches (30 cms) long. Grab both ends of the dough connect in the center, before twisting once through, to form a pretzel shape. Repeat the process until you have 8 pretzels left. Place the soft pretzels onto the lined tray.
• If desired, brush the tops of each pretzel with either milk, butter, oil or even water. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
• While the pretzels are cooling, mix together the cinnamon and sugar/sugar substitute. Spray both sides of the pretzels with cooking spray and moving quickly, dip both sides of the pretzels in the cinnamon mixture, until evenly covered. Repeat until all are covered and enjoy or let cool completely.

HOW TO MAKE YOGURT COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet. To ensure that the oven is warm enough to dry the pretzels, set the temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (130 degrees Celsius) and allow it to heat fully. Next, place a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet to catch any yogurt that drips off after the pretzels are coated. It's a good idea to line the baking sheet with foil, wax paper, or parchment paper before placing the wire rack over it. That will make it easier to clean up the sheet when you're finished making the pretzels.
• Combine the yogurt and powdered sugar. Add 2 cups (500 g) of low fat yogurt in the flavor of your choice to a large bowl. Mix 5 cups (625 g) of powdered sugar into the yogurt one cup (125 g) at a time with an electric mixer until it is completely incorporated. You can use any flavor of yogurt that you like for the pretzels. Strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla are classic options. If you don't have an electric mixer, you can mix the yogurt and powdered sugar by hand with a whisk.
• Dip the pretzels into the yogurt mixture and set them on the cooling rack. After the yogurt and powdered sugar are completely mixed, use a pair of tongs to dip 3 dozen miniature pretzels into the mixture one at a time. Make sure that they are coated on both sides, and set them on the wire cooling rack on the baking sheet. Repeat the process with all of the pretzels. If you don't have tongs, you can use chopsticks or even a pair of tweezers to dip the pretzels.
• Turn off the oven and set the baking sheet with the pretzels inside. When you've coated all of the pretzels with the yogurt mixture, shut off your oven. Place the baking sheet and wire rack with the pretzels in the oven with the door slightly ajar. You don't necessarily have to dry the pretzels in the warm oven. However, it helps the yogurt coating set without the pretzels getting soggy.
• Allow the coating to set for several hours and transfer to a storage container. Leave the pretzels in the oven for 3 to 4 hours so the yogurt coating has time to fully set. Remove them from the oven, and store them in an airtight container. The yogurt covered pretzels should keep for up to 3 days.

YOGURT COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix the confectioners sugar into the yogurt, one cup at a time with a hand blender.
• Using tongs or chopsticks, dip the pretzels, one at a time, into the frosting and place them on a wire cooling rack (place a cookie sheet under the wire rack to catch the excess frosting that will drip from the pretzels).
• Once all pretzels are coated, turn your oven off and place the wire rack and cookie sheet in, leaving the oven door slightly open. The excess heat will help the frosting dry without leaving the pretzels soggy.
• Allow frosting to harden for 3-4 hours, remove from oven, and store pretzels in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
