HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SOFT PRETZEL BITES
Step 1: To warm water, add the yeast and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Then, add in the sugar and stir.
Step 2: Into a large mixing bowl, add the flour. In the centre, make a well, then pour the yeast mixture on it. Mix using a rubber spatula or your hands until well combined. Then, with your hands or using a KitchenAid mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough until you make a ball.
Step 3: Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Into 6 pieces, divide the dough and roll each into an inch rope, then cut the ropes into an inch bite-sized pieces.
Step 4: Slowly add the baking soda to a pot of boiling water, then decrease to a simmer. In the water, place the pretzel bites for only 30 seconds and flip halfway through. On a plate covered in a paper towel, transfer the pretzels and sprinkle with plenty of salt.
Step 5: Using a cooking spray, grease a fryer rack. Bake for about 5 minutes at 390 degrees. Alternately, you can also bake the pretzel bites for about 5 to 8 minutes at 425 degrees oven. Make sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Notes:
Very slowly add the baking soda to the water.
You can store the dough in the fridge before the baking soda bath step for up to 3 days.
