Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • coarse salt

Instructions
 

  • Place warm water, yeast, brown sugar, salt and flour in a mixing bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes or until soft and smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly greased surface. Divide into 6 pieces. Roll each one into approximately 12 inch long ropes. Divide each rope into about 6 2-inch pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Meanwhile, in a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add baking soda.
  • Prepare baking sheets by spraying with vegetable oil spray, or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Add pretzel bites to boiling water 10-12 at a time, boil for 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon move to prepared sheet pans. Continue boiling in batches until are cooked. Sprinkle lightly with coarse pretzel or kosher salt. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes until deep golden brown.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool for a few minutes. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Notes

These are best to eat as soon as possible.
Should you wish to store them, put them in a brown paper bag on counter for up 1 day. For longer storage you can freeze them. It's not ideal but if you wish to: Wrap in foil and then place in a brown paper bag. The salt will most likely dissolve. So if you can plan ahead just save the salt for later. To defrost just leave at room temperature until fully thawed.

      They definitely don’t last long in our house either. Sometimes I have to beg the kids to save some for dad when he gets home from work.:-) Not an easy task!

    Help! These look so good and my kiddos and I really want to try them! However, like all pretzels I’ve attempted at home the dough is too soft and refuses to get firm enough to work with :/ So sad!
    Any suggestions???

      Yay, for being willing to try again! That is sad and frustrating. What do you mean by ‘too soft’. I’m familiar with too sticky or too dry but don’t know exactly what you mean by too soft. Is your biggest struggle shaping them or getting the dough to hold and be able to roll ou?
      I’m hoping the video I created helps. Did you see it in the post?
