But if you&#8217;re avoiding dairy, water works perfectly well as a substitute.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Sugar:\u00a0<\/strong>I use brown sugar in this recipe for its warm molasses-like flavor, but white granulated sugar or coconut sugar would work well too.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Sea salt: <\/strong>We will use fine sea salt to season the dough. Then I highly recommend sprinkling the top of each bite with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YfQLPt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">pretzel salt<\/a> (or coarse sea salt) for an extra salty crunch.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Yeast:\u00a0<\/strong>One packet of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3aKLnu3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">active dry yeast<\/a> is all you need to help the dough rise. As always, be sure that your yeast is fresh and blooms properly in the first step before you proceed with the recipe &#8212; this is essential for success!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:\u00a0<\/strong>Regular all-purpose flour works beautifully in this recipe to give the pretzels a soft and chewy texture. You&#8217;re welcome to substitute white whole wheat flour if you would like, but the pretzels will be slightly more dense.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Butter:\u00a0<\/strong>Melted butter adds richness to the dough and gives each bite a golden, buttery finish when brushed on top after baking.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Baking soda:\u00a0<\/strong>Yes, 1\/3 cup of baking soda is correct &#8212; this amount is essential for the boiling water bath, which gives the pretzels their classic golden crust.<\/li>\n<li class=\"o-Ingredients__a-Ingredient\"><strong>Egg: <\/strong>Finally, we will whisk one egg with water to make an egg wash, which gives each bite a lovely shine and helps the salt to stick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1392\" height=\"2057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3-400x591.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3-1100x1626.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3-768x1135.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-3-1039x1536.jpg 1039w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1392px) 100vw, 1392px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">How To Make Soft Pretzel Bites<\/h2>\n<p>Detailed step-by-step instructions are included in the recipe below, but here are a few extra tips to keep in mind when making homemade pretzel bites:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Use fresh yeast.\u00a0<\/strong>As mentioned above, be sure to check the expiration date on your packet of yeast before beginning the recipe. Then watch to ensure that it blooms in the first step. If it doesn&#8217;t foam up, that means the yeast is inactive and the dough will not rise properly, so it&#8217;s best to stop and start over with a fresh batch of yeast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t skip the baking soda bath.\u00a0<\/strong>This step is essential for achieving the iconic golden, chewy pretzel crust on each bite. (Otherwise, these will just taste like basic little bread bites.) Just a 30-second dip does the trick!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t overcrowd the baking sheet.\u00a0<\/strong>Give the dough bites plenty of space so that they have room to puff up and brown while baking. You can either use one large baking sheet or two smaller sheets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be generous with butter.\u00a0<\/strong>A good brush of melted butter adds so much flavor to these pretzel bites right out of the oven! Highly recommend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve immediately.\u00a0<\/strong>Homemade pretzels are always best served right away, especially while they&#8217;re still warm and pillowy soft.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Pretzel-Bites-8.jpg\" alt=\"\"

Variations<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a few fun ways to customize this pretzel bites recipe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add toppings:\u00a0<\/strong>Sprinkle your pretzel bites with cinnamon sugar, everything bagel seasoning, grated cheese (Asiago, Parmesan, etc), garlic powder, Italian herbs, a thin slice of jalape\u00f1o, or whatever else sounds good.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add herbs to the

Then either (a) use a spoon to mix everything in until combined, and then use your hands to knead the dough for about 4 minutes until it is smooth, adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky or (b) use a stand mixer with a dough hook and mix on medium speed for 4 minutes until the dough is smooth, adding a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\" class=\"o-Method__m-Step\"><strong>Let the dough rise. <\/strong>Transfer the dough to a lightly-oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let the dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes in a warm place until it has doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\" class=\"o-Method__m-Step\"><strong>Prep oven, baking sheet and boiling water solution. <\/strong>Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F.\u00a0 Line two <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2sOvNfi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">large baking sheets<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37CBT23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">parchment paper<\/a>, then set aside.

Transfer the pretzel bites to the parchment-lined pan, spaced out so that they&#8217;re not touching, and repeat with the remaining pretzel bites.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\" class=\"o-Method__m-Step\"><strong>Add egg wash and salt.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/35xS8fQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Brush<\/a> the top of each pretzel bite with the egg wash and sprinkle with the coarse sea salt.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\" class=\"o-Method__m-Step\"><strong>Bake. <\/strong>Bake until the pretzel bites reach your desired level of golden brown color, about 12 to 14 minutes.
