In a big bowl, add unbleached flour, granulated sugar, and fine salt. Toss to mix the dry ingredients together.

Activate the yeast with warm water, ensuring it's not too hot or too cold.

Pour the warm water into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula, then use hands to combine until the dough is soft, supple, and smooth.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise undisturbed for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, scoop the dough onto a well-greased surface and roll it out to your desired length and thickness.

Shape the pretzels by starting from the center, looping one end to the center, and then the other end to form the pretzel shape.

Submerge each shaped pretzel into a baking soda and water bath.

Blot the pretzels on a towel and place them on a well-greased pan. Salt some pretzels and leave some bare for cinnamon sugar.

Let the pretzels rise and rest for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Bake the pretzels until golden brown, then butter each hot pretzel.

Coat the unsalted pretzels in cinnamon sugar.
