Pretzel Bites
Method
Preparation
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and brown sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add in flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
Shape the Pretzel Bites
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Once dough has risen, punch it down and divide into small pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the Baking Soda Bath
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda. Drop pretzel bites in batches for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the Pretzel Bites
Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the pretzel bites and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
