These cinnamon sugar pretzels are made with the magical 2 ingredient dough. They are soft and chewy and make the perfect sweet treat!

The base of these cinnamon sugar pretzels is a 2-ingredient dough that consists of only self-raising flour and Greek yogurt. They taste just like pretzels from Auntie Anne’s or your favorite pretzel shop and come together in no time!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here is what you’ll need to make these 2 ingredient dough cinnamon sugar pretzel bites:

• Self-rising Flour: The main base of the dough. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt!
• Greek Yogurt: Makes the dough soft and pliable and provides the pretzels with that airy texture.
• Baking Soda: Dissolved into boiling water to quickly dip the pretzel bites into. Doing this helps give the bites that authentic pretzel taste!
• Egg: Optional ingredient for an egg wash to help give the bites a nice golden brown color. You may also brush the bites with melted butter.
• Brown Sugar and Cinnamon: Optional ingredients for cinnamon-sugar coating. This helps give the bites a nice sweet taste! I usually make my own cinnamon-sugar mixture, but you can also purchase a prepackaged version!
• Butter: Used to dip the bites into for the cinnamon sugar coating to stick!

See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Ingredient Substitutions & Additions

• Self-rising flour: If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt and mixing it until it is well combined. Once combined, you can measure out 1 and ½ cups of that mixture to combine with the Greek Yogurt to make the dough. 
• Greek yogurt: The Greek yogurt may be replaced with equal parts unsweetened thick dairy-free yogurt. Make sure to use a yogurt that is thick in texture or the dough will not form. If the dough seems too moist, add in a little more flour until it is pliable.
• Egg: The egg used for the egg wash may be replaced with melted butter.
• Cinnamon Sugar: Cinnamon sugar gives the bites a nice sweet taste, but if you prefer a savory version, you can coat the bites with other toppings like garlic Parmesan or a few dashes of course salt!

Step By Step Instructions

1. Add the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a bowl and mix it until it becomes crumbly in texture.
2. Use your hands to knead the dough for a few minutes until it starts to come together into a ball.
3. Sprinkle a little flour on a surface and slice the dough into 4 sections. Roll out each section into a long log about ½ inch thick.
4. Use a knife to slice the log into small bite-size pieces.
5. Add the baking soda into a small saucepan with boiling water. Once the baking soda is dissolved and the water is boiling, quickly add in the bites, a few pieces at a time, and let them boil for about 20 seconds (no more than 25 seconds). Use a slotted spoon to remove them, shake off the excess water, and place them onto a parchment paper-lined pan.
6. Let the bites cool for a few minutes. Whisk together the egg and one tablespoon of water to form the egg wash. Brush a light layer onto each piece.
7. Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown in color. Let them cool.
8. If you choose to coat the bites in cinnamon sugar, melt the butter/oil and combine the cinnamon and sugar together until it is well combined. Dip each bite in the melted butter then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store the pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. I recommend storing the pretzel bites plain and coating them in cinnamon sugar or other toppings right before serving.
