Pretzel Bites Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Pretzel Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly. Stir in salt and flour until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered, for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Shape the Pretzel Bites

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into small pieces and shape each into a bite-sized ball.

3. 3

   Prepare the Baking Soda Bath

   In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil and stir in baking soda. Boil each pretzel bite for about 30 seconds, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.

4. 4

   Add Egg Wash and Bake

   Brush each pretzel bite with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
