Cranberry Breakfast Pretzels


This is from l&t magazine. I have not tried it but intend to. They sound great! They recommend serving them warm with honey or cream cheese.

Steps


In a food processor combine cranberries , applesauce and 1 tbs sugar.
Process until finely chopped.
Set aside.
In a mixing bowl , dissolve yeast in warm milk.
Add 1 tbs sugar.
Let stand 5 minutes.
Add the cranberry mixture , oil , salt , and enough flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead until smooth and elastic , 6-8 minutes.
Place in a bowl coated with nonstick spray , turning once to coat the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size , about 90 minutes.
Punch down dough.
Turn onto a floured surface.
Divide into 15 balls.
Roll each ball into a 14-inch rope and form in pretzel shape.
In a large saucepan , bring water to a boil.
Drop pretzels , one at a time into water.
Boil for 10 seconds on each side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Place pretzels on baking sheets coated with nonstick spray.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until puffy , about 25 minutes.
Brush with egg white.
Combine .
