Soft Pretzel Bites
Adapted from Fabtastic Eats
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
4 1/2 cups flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 cups water
2/3 cups baking soda
1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the water, sugar, salt, and yeast. Whisk it together.
Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Fitted with the dough hook, add the melted butter and flour, mix to combine.
Knead on medium speed for 5-6 minutes until smooth to the touch and not sticky.
Lightly grease the bowl, add the dough back in, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to rise for one hour or until it doubles in size.
In a large pot, bring the water and baking soda to a boil.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly oil surface, punch down the dough and separate into 8-10 pieces.
Roll into ropes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut bite sizes about one inch long.
Add them to the boiling water in batches for 30 seconds at a time.
With a slotted spoon, remove them to the parchment paper
Brush each piece with the egg and water mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Pop in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat until you’ve used up all your dough, dip and enjoy!
