In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
Add the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix together with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 7-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease a clean bowl with oil, place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm environment for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release any air bubbles and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into 8 equal sections. Roll each into a rope about 12 inches long, then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to create the pretzel bites.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.
Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for 20-30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove them and place onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
Sprinkle the tops with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
After baking, allow the pretzel bites to cool for a few minutes before serving.
