After it rises and doubles in size, cut the dough into 6-8 even pieces
Roll out each piece into a long rope and form each piece into a pretzel (make a horseshoe away from you, cross the ends twice and fold down towards you)
Dissolve 1/3 cup baking soda into 2 cups hot water
Dip each pretzel into the solution for 5-10 seconds (this is what gives it its signature pretzel texture)
Place on a lined baking sheet and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar topping
Bake at 400F for 18-20 min (baking time will vary based on size of pretzel, watch carefully and take out when golden brown)
