Pretzel Bites

Method

Making Pretzel Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead and Rest

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape the Bites

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

  4. 4

    Boil the Bites

    In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and add baking soda. Drop the pretzel balls into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Brush the pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
