Introduction
Soft, tender, and chewy on the inside with a beautifully crisp, salty golden crust on the outside. These bite-sized pretzel bites are incredibly easy to make and taste much better than any store-bought versions.
Step 1
Add warm water to a stand mixer bowl, then sprinkle in the yeast and light brown sugar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
Add 3 cups (360g) of flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix on low with a paddle attachment for about 1 minute until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Switch to a dough hook. Slowly add the remaining 1 3/4 cups (210g) of flour in batches, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Step 4
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. Perform the windowpane test to ensure proper gluten development; if it tears quickly, knead on a counter for another minute.
Step 5
Grease a bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough inside, and coat it with oil. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until doubled.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always add the baking soda to boiling water very slowly to prevent it from bubbling over rapidly.
Do not leave the dough bites in the baking soda bath for longer than 30 seconds, or they may develop a metallic taste.
An egg wash adds a beautiful glossy shine and deep color while helping the coarse salt stick securely to the pretzels.
