DIY Pretzel Bites
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bread Flour
- 2 cups Water warmed
- 1½ cups Water warmed
- ¼ cup Baking Soda
- 4 tbsp Sugar
- 2¼ tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- Water in a small bowl
- Butter melted
- Kosher Salt course
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, yeast, and salt in 1½ cup of warm water for 5 minutes.
- Stir in flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in another bowl that is well oiled and cover with cloth to let it rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Lightly flour a clean flat surface. Place dough on surface and begin to pat down to flatten and then cut dough into 12 even pieces.
- Clean up flour from surface and wipe down with a damp cloth or paper towel. This will create a moist surface to roll dough. Keep a small bowl of water near to make sure hands stay moist.
- Roll each piece starting in the middle and working outward into long rope about ¾ inch diameter. Cut rope into small bite size pieces.
- Combine baking soda and 2 cups of warm water into a small bowl to dissolve.
- Dip dough pieces into baking soda solution and place pieces on a greased cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle kosher salt over each piece and bake for 7-8 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove pretzels from oven and dip each pretzel in melted butter and enjoy!
