Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Warm water (around 110°F)
• 0.33 cup Baking soda
• 3 cups Water
• 0 to taste Coarse sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve the brown sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the yeast mixture to the flour and salt. Stir until the mixture starts to form a dough. If necessary, use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, then add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into four equal parts.

Step 8

Roll each part into a rope, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the bites.

Step 9

Working in batches, drop the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water for about 20-30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 10

Sprinkle the pretzel bites with coarse sea salt to your liking.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the pretzel bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
