For Pretzel Bites

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Shape the Pretzel Bites

    Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baking Soda Bath

    In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and gently drop pretzel bites in for about 30 seconds. Remove and place back on the baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm with spicy mustard and additional melted butter on the side.
