Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead for
6 to 8 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic,
adding additional flour as necessary. Cut into 24
pieces. While working with dough, keep covered
with plastic wrap. Roll each piece into a 16-inch
long rope. To form pretzels, make a U-shape with
the rope. Holding the ends of the rope, cross them
over each other and press onto the bottom of the U
and place on prepared baking sheets. Press ends of
pretzel into pretzel dough. Brush with remaining
1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar
mixture. Allow to rise in warm place for 15
minutes or until risen slightly.
