Pretzel Bites
These pretzel bites are a delicious salty snack for any time of day. The only “danger” is that you’ll want to keep eating them one after another!
Servings: 60 bites
Ingredients
Dough
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 4 grams active dry yeast
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 65 ml milk lukewarm (whole or low-fat, both work)
- 60 ml water lukewarm
Topping
- 1 egg yolk medium
- coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Start by making the dough. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Warm the milk and water until lukewarm, then add them to the dry ingredients.
- Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let it rise for 45-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
- After rising, turn the dough out onto your work surface. Press out the air and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Cover the pieces with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and roll out one piece at a time into a long rope, about 45-50 cm long.
- Cut the rope into small bites using a knife or dough scraper, each rope gives you about 15 bites.
- Place all the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Let them rise again for 10-15 minutes (no need to cover).
- Bake at 225 °C (440 °F), top and bottom heat, for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
- These pretzel bites are amazing both warm and cooled. Put out a bowl and it’ll be gone in no time. They’re also great served with dips.
