Easy Pretzel Bites

Warm, chewy pretzels can’t be beat… except when they come from your own oven! BAM!

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, brown sugar and melted butter. Sprinkle with yeast and let the yeast do its thing for 5-10 minutes, or until bubbly.
  2. Add the flour and salt, being careful to not add too much flour. Start with 4 cups and see if you need more, as it will depend on how dry things are. Knead into a smooth dough, and set aside to rise for an hour. *I used my Kitchen-Aid Mixer for this step.
  3. After the dough has risen, place water and baking soda in a large pot and bring to a boil. *Note: This step was messy!
  4. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Divide dough into (approximately) 8 equal pieces. Roll into ropes an inch thick, and cut into 1″ pieces.
  6. Boil in batches of 10-15 bites for 30 seconds and remove to a baking sheet with a slotted spoon.
  7. Whisk the egg and brush it over each pretzel bite. Sprinkle with coarse salt. *YUMMY
  8. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, and serve warm with your dip of choice.
