Hey guys, I was wondering if you were up for another major comfort food item, because I have to tell you, they’re my favorite things to share!

Before I get that, I was curious if you guys want to see videos about things other than food. Something a bit more like my travel videos but just about my everyday life? Let me know in the comments.

Anyway, I don’t know about you, but it’s almost indescribable how happy the smell of these wafting through the house can make me. MMMMMmmm! All that warm yeasty goodness mixed with cinnamon spice is enough to make me giggle with childish glee!

It’s an aroma of favorite childhood memories. (Note to self; figure out how to bottle and sell the stuff as a perfume ’cause it would be dynamite!)
Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Soft Pretzels
Prep Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Yield: about 8 pretzels
Ingredients
Pretzel Dough:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons (neutral) oil
1 egg yolk
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
Cinnamon Raisin Filling:
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup raisins (or craisins)
Pretzel Wash:
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
Stir water, sugar, and yeast together until yeast is dissolved and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl and whisk in egg yolk and oil until combined. Add flour and mix until dough comes together. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, adding a little more flour until the dough doesn't stick to your hands. It should spring back when you press your thumb into it. Place in oiled bowl and cover bowl with plastic or a damp towel, then place in warm place to rise until doubled in size.
While bread is rising, mix together the ingredients for filling. Stir the butter, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl until smooth, then add raisins and stir until mixed.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line a baking tray with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch tall. Spread out your filling on top in an even layer and then, starting from a longer edge, roll the dough into a "log" shape. Make a cut down the center to divide in half, then start gently twisting one half to stretch it into a thinner rope, about 1 inch in diameter. Divide the rope into 4 equal pieces and repeat this step with the other half of your log until you have 8 ropes.
Twist each rope into a pretzel (you can do spirals if that is simpler) and place on parchment tray.
Stir together the hot water and soda until dissolved, then brush over pretzel (you can also sprinkle with a bit of pretzel salt if desired). Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
P.S. If you feel like living in the edge, these are amazing dipped in vanilla frosting!.....just sayin'

how did friends my tea
The smell of cinnamon evokes the memorries of my childhood too. In Vietnam we use this spice for famous vietnamese soup - pho 😊 In Poland I've eaten for the first time apple pie with cinnamon and this is my favourite dessert till now 😊 I like your recipe I will ask my wife to prepare that as she loves to bake everything which has cinnamon in the ingredients list 😉
@xuanito I hope it turns out great
Thanks for the recipe as well!😋😋😋
@momskitchen thanks for all of your support

The raisin cakes that look very delicious .. So want to taste..
@silvia thanks so much!
Ah these look delish. I want to eat one right now! They would go great with my morning coffee... and I bet it'd make wee man's day to find one of these in his school lunch!
Oh, and I totally agree - someone needs to bottle the smell of freshly baked bread and cinnamon. It has to be one of the most universal "feel good" smells out there.
@offbeatbroad wee man's lunch, great idea. I think cinabon may have bottled it - LOL
LOL! That's true! They should consider branching out into body wash and lotion. haha
@offbeatbroad that's funny
Mmmmmmm some of my favorite flavor combinations, looks awesome!
@will-chase-dream thanks so much for commenting
It seems to be very tasty !! A little tastes can be seen ?

Yummy! These look amazing! :)
Great pictures and the recipe is really accurate, you can also do it but instead of raisins you can use cranberries, dates, dried apples, dried pineapple or fig.
Thanks!
@mycryptostalker cranberries, dates, dried apples, dried pineapple or fig, those would all be amazing. Maybe you'll make a post about it?
delicious
