Pumpkin Soft Pretzels - Say What?! Seriously Delish!

1 T yeast

1 ½ cup warm water

1 tsp salt

1 T sugar

1/2 c pumpkin puree

3 ½ to 4 1/2 cups flour 

1/2 c sugar

1-2 T cinnamon

Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in the salt, 1 T sugar and two cups flour. Add pumpkin. Beat till smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Shape. Then brush lightly with 1 T water and 1 egg white that has been whipped with a fork and sprinkle with Cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 425* for 15-20 minutes.
*We dipped ours in cream cheese frosting but I think that caramel frosting would be amazing too!
