Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the melted butter and salt into the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add in the flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into ropes about 1 inch thick. Cut those ropes into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil water in a pot with baking soda. Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for 30 seconds each. After boiling, place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush the pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle them with coarse sea salt. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Serve warm with dipping sauces like mustard, cheese sauce, or chocolate. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
