Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Warm water (around 110°F)
- 0.33 cup Baking soda
- 3 cups Water
- to taste Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, dissolve the brown sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture to the flour and salt. Stir until the mixture starts to form a dough. If necessary, use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil, then add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
Roll each part into a rope, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to form the bites.
Working in batches, drop the pretzel bites into the boiling baking soda water for about 20-30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
Sprinkle the pretzel bites with coarse sea salt to your liking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until deeply golden brown.
Remove the pretzel bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
