Warm, buttery pretzel bites that are easy to make and irresistible to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled; plus more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¾ cups warm milk (or water; around 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 9 cups water
  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg (mixed with 1 tablespoon of water)

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, and salt. Mix with a dough hook on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
  2. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Bring the water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ¾-inch rope and cut into 1-2 inch bites.
  6. Drop the bites into boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot with honey mustard or your dipping sauce of choice!
