Soft Pretzel Bites
Prep time: 1 hour 20 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 1 hour 30 mins
Serves: 30
Ingredients
Pretzel Dough Ingredients:
4 ½ cups of flour
1 ½ cups of warm water
1 Tbsp. of sugar
2.5 tsp. of kosher salt
1 package of dry yeast
¼ cup of butter, melted
1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil
Additional Ingredients:
Spray cooking oil, vegetable oil or olive oil for the cookie sheets
10 cups of water
⅔ cup of baking soda
1 large egg yolk
2 Tbsp. of water
Additional Kosher salt or pretzel salt
Instructions
To make your pretzel dough, combine your 1 ½ cups water, sugar and salt in the mixing bowl and then sprinkle the yeast on top.
Allow this to stand for five minutes or so until it starts to foam.
Add your butter and flour and let the mixer mix on low speed until everything is well combined. Once combined, increase the speed to medium for 5 minutes. The dough will begin to ball and no longer stick to the sides of the bowl.
Remove dough, clean the bowl and then use your 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil to wipe down the inside of the bowl.
Put the dough back in the bowl and tightly cover it with plastic wrap. Sit it on a window sill or in another warm spot for 1 hour.
Once the hour is up preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line your baking sheets with the parchment paper and spray them with the cooking oil or wipe down with your choice of oil. You want to make sure that they are well oiled, so your pretzels don’t stick.
Boil your 10 cups of water and baking soda. While that’s begins to boil, remove your dough from the mixing bowl and begin to roll it out.
Initially, I rolled it out to make the pretzel shapes but decided that bites would be better and serve more. Once it’s rolled, break off about 2-inch pieces and roll them into a ball. Add these to your parchment paper.
After you have all your pretzel bite laid out, mix together your egg yolk and 2 Tbsp. of water. Set near your boiling water.
Use a slotted spoon to lower the dough balls into your boiling water and baking soda. Let them boil in there for 30 seconds. They will start to float when you should take them out. Do these in batch if you need to. I did mine in two or three batches at a time.
Add them back to your parchment paper and brush with the egg wash. Then sprinkle with additional salt.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Keep in mind oven times will vary so you just want to make sure they are brown on the top before pulling them out, but don’t over bake.
Let cool for 5 minutes and then serve.
