Instructions
- Grease a large bowl with 1 – 1 ½ tbsp of vegetable oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Create a well in the middle of the bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine water, yeast and brown sugar. Mix to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. Pour the sugar/yeast minute into the large bowl, along with the melted butter. Knead the mixture for a couple of minutes to form a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add flour if it is too dry, add flour. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, kneading well for 3 – 4 minutes to make a soft + smooth dough. Round the dough and place it into the large-greased bowl. Cover with a tea towel or cloth and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size. This may depend on your environment.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees and prepare two baking trays with parchment paper.
- Add the 12 cups of water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and slowly add in the baking soda. Make sure to add it in small increments, so it doesn’t boil over. Reduce heat slightly while you prepare the bites.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, remove the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into four quarters. Use your hands to press down on the dough and roll each piece into a long rope, approximately 2 feet long and 1 inch thick. Cut each rope of dough into 12 – 14 pieces, about 1-inch pieces.
- Bring the pot of baking soda water back to a boil.
- Add the pretzel bites to the pot in 3 or 4 different batches. Boil them for 20 – 30 seconds. Remove the pretzel bites with a slotted spoon and onto one of the baking trays. Repeat these steps and arrange the pretzel bites evenly between the two baking trays. Make sure they are not touching.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg, then gently brush the tops of the pretzel bites.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over as many of the bites as you wish, and cover with a generous amount of flaky salt.
- Bake for 18 minutes, until a golden brown.
- Serve warm with grainy mustard, lightly salted butter, or Vegan Queso! Absolutely delicious!
