Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with melted butter. Mix until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shaping and Boiling

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into ropes about 1 inch thick, then cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form bite-sized pretzel pieces.

  3. 7

    Boil the Pretzel Bites

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and add baking soda. Carefully add the pretzel bites in batches, boiling for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Baking

  1. 8

    Add Toppings

    Brush the boiled pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

  2. 9

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
