Recipe:\u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/centercutcook.com\/buttery-mini-soft-pretzel-bites\/<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DOUGH INGREDIENTS <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2 1\/2 cups flour <\/span><\/p>\n

1 teaspoon salt <\/span><\/p>\n

2 teaspoons sugar <\/span><\/p>\n

2 1\/4 teaspoons instant yeast <\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup warm water <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TOPPING INGREDIENTS<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup very hot water <\/span><\/p>\n

2 tablespoons baking soda <\/span><\/p>\n

Kosher or sea salt <\/span><\/p>\n

3 tablespoons melted butter <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 475 degrees.<\/li>\n
  2. In the bowl of your mixer, sift together flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add in 1 cup of very warm water and use the dough hook to mix it well. You could also do this by hand or use a food processor.<\/li>\n
  3. Knead the dough until it is smooth. Sprinkle flour in the bottom of a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and cover it. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to rise.<\/li>\n
  4. After 30 minutes, knead the dough for 30 seconds to 1 minute.<\/li>\n
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal sections. Form each section into strips about 8 inches long and about 1 inch wide. Cut each strip into about 6-8 pieces. You should end up with 24-32 pretzel bites.<\/li>\n
  6. In a shallow dish (I used a cake pan), combine the very hot water (I microwaved it for 2 minutes, you could also boil the water on the stovetop) with the baking soda and stir to dissolve. Place the pretzel bites in the water\/baking soda mixture and allow to sit for one minute. Then flip the pretzel bites and allow to sit in the mixture for one minute longer.<\/li>\n
  7. Arrange the pretzel bites on a greased baking sheet. Allow the pretzel bites to rest for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with a bit of kosher or sea salt before baking them for 10-11 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are nice and brown!<\/li>\n
  8. While the pretzel bites are baking, melt 3 tablespoons of butter (1 minute in the microwave).<\/li>\n
  9. When the pretzel bites are done baking, immediately brush each bite with melted butter. Keep brushing the bites with butter until it is all gone. Serve with your favorite dip!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
