Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup water warm
- 1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 1/2 pkg.)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup bread flour
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- To taste coarse salt
- 4 ounces butter melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add flour and knead dough until smooth and elastic. Let rise at least 1/2 hour.
- While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath with 2 cups warm water and 2 tablespoons baking soda. Be certain to stir often.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Once the dough has risen transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface, and divide it into six equal pieces. Roll the six pieces of dough into 12" to 15" ropes. Cut each rope crosswise into about 12 pieces.
- Pour the cooled baking soda solution into a pan large enough to hold the bites. Place the bites into the solution, gently swish them around, and leave them there for a couple of minutes.
- Transfer them to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, and top with pretzel salt or sea salt. Bake the bites for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove them from the oven, and roll them in the melted butter. Toss with cinnamon-sugar once you've rolled the bites in the butter.
- Place the bites on a rack. If the bites aren't eaten immediately you should place them in an airtight container. The pretzel bites should be warmed before serving.
