Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups High-protein flour
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 cup Baking soda
- 8 cups Water
- as needed Coarse salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir until the yeast dissolves. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add high-protein flour, Greek yogurt, beaten egg, baking powder, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil, then slowly add the baking soda to avoid it overflowing.
Divide the resting dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 1-inch thick, then cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form pretzel bites.
Working in batches, drop the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle coarse salt over the pretzel bites while they are still wet from the baking soda bath.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your high-protein soft pretzel bites!
