Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 packet Active Dry Yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm Water
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (Melted, plus extra for brushing)
• 0.25 cup Baking Soda
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 0 to taste Coarse Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour to prevent sticking, but avoid adding too much.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and return it to the bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm spot for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring about 8 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda to the boiling water.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a long rope, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces to form the pretzel bites.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, gently place the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water in batches. Boil for about 30 seconds, then remove and drain them slightly on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Transfer the boiled pretzel bites to the prepared baking sheet. Brush them with the beaten egg using a pastry brush.

Step 10

Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the pretzel bites.

Step 11

Bake them in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 12

Once done, remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
