1	cup (128 grams) of Bread Flour
2	cups (256 grams) of All-Purpose Flour
2	tbs

Cooking Instructions

Step 1	Mix yeast, sea salt, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl, whisking until sugar dissolves.
Step 2	Let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes (Kamran Note: I let it sit for about 8 minutes).
Step 3	Place flour into a large bowl.
Step 4	Using two butter knives, a pastry cutter, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5	Slowly pour yeast mixture over flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands to combine.
Step 6	Using your hands, gather dough together.
Step 7	Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until it is no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.
Step 8	Lightly brush a large bowl with oil and turn the dough to coat.
Step 9	Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm place, until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 10	About 1 hour. (Kamran note: If you want, you can place the bowl of dough in the refrigerator over night)
Step 11	Cut dough into 12 equal pieces, and roll each into an 18-inch rope.
Step 12	Form a U shape with 1 rope, and twist ends together twice.
Step 13	Fold twisted portions backward along center of U shape to form a circle, then gently press ends of rope onto dough to seal.
Step 14	Transfer to an oiled baking sheet, and repeat.
Step 15	Let rise for 20 minutes.
Step 16	Preheat oven to 475ºF.
Step 17	Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add baking soda and 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar.
Step 18	Boil pretzels in batches until puffed and slightly shiny, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Step 19	Transfer to wire racks to drain.
Step 20	Place pretzels on an oiled baking sheet.
Step 21	Mix the 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and the pinch of salt in a bowl; set aside.
Step 22	Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 23	In the last 5 minutes of baking, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter and prepare the coffee glaze (recipe below).
Step 24	Brush the warm melted butter onto the tops of the pretzels, once they are immediately out of the oven, sprinkle on some of the cinnamon sugar, then drizzle on some of the coffee glaze (recipe below) and serve immediately.
Step 25	If you want to keep the pretzels (without melted butter, cinnamon sugar, and the glaze) they will keep uncovered at room temperature for up to 12 hours; just warm them up in a 250ºF oven, and brush on some melted butter, sprinkle on some of the cinnamon sugar, and if desired, drizzle on some of the coffee glaze.
Step 26	Coffee Glaze Preparation:
Step 27	Mix the milk and coffee in a small bowl.
Step 28	Slowly stir in the powdered sugar, making sure there are no lumps.
