Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup Baking soda
• 4 cups Water (for boiling)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 7-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release any air bubbles and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Sprinkle the tops with coarse sea salt.

Step 11

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

Step 12

After baking, allow the pretzel bites to cool for a few minutes before serving.
