In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope approximately 20 inches long and cut each rope into 1-inch bites.
Carefully drop about 8-10 pretzel bites into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them onto the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining pretzel bites.
Sprinkle each pretzel bite with coarse sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
