Instructions

  • Dissolve your yeast in your warm water in a large bowl. Stir together for about 1 minute until mostly combined.
  • Add in your salt, sugar and butter and stir everything together.
  • Add in your flour, 1 cup at a time until dough is thick and no longer sticky. Add more flour 1 TBS at a time if needed to make sure dough isn't sticky. (Poke dough with your finger, and dough should bounce back - then it is ready)

  • Roll each section into long ropes about 20-22 inches long.
  • Cut each rope into about 10-12 1.5 inch pieces.
  • Drop one rope worth of pretzel bites into your baking soda bath and let sit for 20-30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone liner.
  • Beat 1 large egg and water in a small bowl.
  • Brush egg wash over each pretzel bite.
  • Sprinkle the tops with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake each tray for 15 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown and some of the tops have cracked
  • Remove from oven.
