Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.67 cup Baking soda
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 0 to taste Coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add the flour, kosher salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Oil a clean bowl and place the kneaded dough inside, covering it with a clean, damp towel. Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 7
While waiting for the water to boil, turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal pieces.
Step 8
Roll each piece into a long rope, about 12-15 inches in length, and cut it into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
Step 9
Carefully drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water, a few at a time, for about 30 seconds each. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 10
Brush each pretzel bite lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until dark golden brown.
Step 12
Allow the pretzel bites to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm!
