Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat or 2%)
Boiling Solution
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 3 cups water
Topping and Finishing
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Coarse salt for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
- Shape the Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope approximately 12 inches long. Cut each rope into 1-inch pieces to create bite-sized pretzels.
- Boil with Baking Soda: In a saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and 1/4 cup baking soda to a gentle boil. Working in small batches, add the pretzel bites to the boiling water and cook for 20–30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Egg Wash and Salt: Brush each pretzel bite with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle generously with coarse salt for flavor and a nice crust.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the pretzel bites in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Serve pretzel bites with cheese sauce, mustard, or any favorite dips for added flavor.
- For a sweet twist, omit the coarse salt and instead brush warm pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after baking.
- These pretzels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
