Description
Soft and chewy pretzel bites that are perfect for any gathering, easy to make, and deliciously satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups warm milk (or water, around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 9 cups water
- ½ cup baking soda
- 1 large egg (mixed with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, milk, melted butter, and salt.
- Mix with a dough hook on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add more flour a bit at a time.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 30-60 minutes until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring the water and baking soda to a boil.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ¾-inch rope and cut them into 1-2 inch bites.
- Drop the bites into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and lightly sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until they’re golden brown.

Serve with honey mustard or cheese sauce for dipping. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
