Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 packet (7g) Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.333 cup Baking soda
- 1 whole Egg white
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 1 as needed Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast on top. Let this sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
Add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for this step.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 60 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda carefully (it will fizz up rapidly).
Divide the risen dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1 inch in diameter. Cut each rope into bite-sized pieces.
Using a slotted spoon, drop a few dough pieces at a time into the boiling water-baking soda mixture. Let them boil for about 30 seconds, then remove and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Beat the egg white and lightly brush it over each pretzel bite. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden brown.
Allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
