  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  6. Prepare baking soda solution: Mix baking soda with 2 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil.
  7. Shape the pretzel bites: Divide the dough into small pieces and roll them into balls.
  8. Boil the dough balls: Boil each dough ball in the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
  9. Add egg wash: Brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
  10. Bake to perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Serve and enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
