Pretzel Bite Ingredients
Method
Pretzel Bites Directions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add salt and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pretzel Bites
After the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then into a rope about 1 inch thick. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
