Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
Baking Soda Bath
- ½ cup boiling water
- 1 tbsp baking soda
Topping
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp pretzel salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 425˚F. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the self-rising flour and plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
- Mix and Knead: Mix on low speed until ingredients are combined, then knead on medium speed for about 3 minutes until a smooth ball forms. If the dough feels sticky, gradually add more self-rising flour until manageable.
- Shape the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface, sprinkle the top with flour, knead a few times, then shape into a ball. Cut the dough ball into four equal wedges.
- Form Pretzel Bites: Roll each wedge into a long rope, then slice each rope into approximately 12 small bite-sized pieces.
- Baking Soda Bath: Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water. Dip each dough segment into the baking soda mixture briefly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the bites in the preheated oven at 425˚F for 7-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Add Finishing Touches: Immediately brush the warm pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt for authentic flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is not too sticky before shaping; add flourish as needed.
- Dipping each piece in the baking soda bath creates the classic pretzel crust.
- You can substitute pretzel salt with coarse sea salt if unavailable.
- Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
