Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl, combine water, sugar, salt, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Add the melted butter and stir in 3 ½ cups of flour a bit at a time. Continue adding flour - up to 4 cups to create a dough that is slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Mix with a dough hook for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If you don't have a stand mixer, knead by hand for about 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 60 minutes or doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring the water and baking soda to a rolling boil over medium high heat.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a 24-inch rope. Cut each rope into 2-inch pieces.
- In small batches, drop the dough pieces into boiling water for about 10 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow water to drip away.
- Place the dough on the prepared pan. Brush each piece of dough with egg yolk and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Makes 48 pretzel bites.
- Store in a brown paper bag or loosely covered container at room temperature.
