Copycat Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Nuggets (Auntie Anne’s style)

American flavors, weeknight effort. All-purpose flour meets plain nonfat greek yogurt in a 35-minute snack worth keeping in rotation. Each serving lands at 300 calories with 18g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 1/4 tsp Instant yeast
• 1/4 cup Warm water
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Fine salt
• 1/4 cup Baking soda
• 1/3 cup Monk fruit sweetener
• 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 8 sprays Light butter spray

Steps

1. Proof the yeast in the warm water with the honey for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Mix in the yogurt, flour, and salt and knead 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and springs back when poked.
3. Cover and rise 30 minutes, then roll the dough into ropes and cut into 1-inch nuggets.
4. Bring a wide pot of water to a rolling boil, stir in the baking soda, and boil the nuggets 30 seconds — this alkaline bath is the entire secret to real pretzel chew.
5. Lift them out with a slotted spoon, arrange on a parchment-lined sheet, and bake at 425°F for 12 to 14 minutes until deep golden.
6. Mist the hot nuggets with the butter spray and toss immediately with the monk fruit and cinnamon while they are still steamy, so the coating sticks.
