Pretzel Bites
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Then, add the salt and gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pretzel Bites
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Once dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

Prepare the Baking Soda Bath
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Once boiling, drop the pretzel bites into the water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place them on a greased baking sheet.
