Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Baking soda
• 1 Large egg
• 5 cups Water (for boiling)
• 0.5 teaspoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir in the honey and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the salt and flour to the yeast mixture, and mix until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 5 cups of water to a boil and stir in the baking soda.

Step 7

Meanwhile, punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope of approximately 18 inches long and cut each rope into bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, dip each dough piece into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush each pretzel bite with the egg wash.

Step 10

Sprinkle the pretzel bites with coarse sea salt.

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat homemade pretzel bites!
