Homemade Cinnamon Sticks

I have a hard time walking by one of those pretzel places at the mall. The smell alone is enough to stop me in my tracks. My favorite flavor is the pretzel with cinnamon sugar on it and the cream cheese frosting that comes on the side that you can dip your pretzel into – yum!

I decided to recreate the taste at home but instead of a pretzel I went with a cinnamon sugar breadstick with cream cheese drizzle. I like the yeasty softness of a breadstick over a pretzel although I love me a good pretzel too.

How to Make Cinnamon Breadsticks

  • Proof the yeast. The trick to working with yeast is to make sure your water is the right temperature, not too hot and not too cold. The water temp should be 105-110 degrees. Check out my post on How to Proof Yeast for more tips.
  • Mix together yeast mixture, flour, oil egg, and salt.
  • Allow dough to raise about 30-40 minutes. I speed up the process a bit by preheating my oven to 150 degrees and then turning it off. I place my covered bowl of dough into the oven and it loves that nice warm environment.

  • Roll the dough out into a 8 x 14 rectangle.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into about 8-10 even pieces, about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 inches side.

  • Drap each strip of dough over your fingers and twist it together.

  • Place each twist on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and allow them to rise for about another 40 minutes or until about double in size.

Cinnamon Stick Glaze

  • Mix together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipping cream and vanilla.
  • Add additional milk if drizzle is too thick or more powdered sugar if it is too thin.
  • Place in a plastic storage bag and snip off the corner of the bag.
  • Drizzle the cream cheese down the breadstick. The more the better!

    Is there a way to add the cinn/sugar mix in the dough rather than only on top to make it even more flavorful?

      You can add some sugar into the dough if you wanted it sweeter.
