Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:23 In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) combine approximately 2 cups (250g) of flour, brown sugar, yeast, and table salt and stir to combine.
00:59 Add melted butter and warm water and stir until mixture is completely combined and smooth.
01:50 Gradually add remaining flour as needed (plus additional as needed) until the dough begins to cling together and pulls away from the side of the bowl (if using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment for this). 02:09 Dough should be slightly tacky to the touch, but not unmanageably sticky.
02:22 Transfer to a clean, lightly floured surface and briefly knead for 1-2 minutes until dough clings together and you have a mostly smooth ball (or you may use the dough hook attachment and mixer on low-speed for 1-2 minutes).
02:45 Transfer to a large, lightly oiled bowl and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place in a warm place to rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
Boiling & Baking
03:17 Once dough has risen, preheat oven to 450F (230C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Prepare an egg wash by beating together 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of water and set this aside for now, too.
03:26 Gently deflate risen dough and transfer to a clean surface. Divide into 5 pieces and roll each into a rope approximately 12” (30cm) long. If the dough is sticking to your hands, lightly flour it but too much flour can make the dough even more difficult to work with, so use sparingly.
04:12 Cut each rope into 1-1 ½” (2-3.5cm) bite-sized pieces and transfer to prepared baking sheet.
04:43 Measure 8 cups of water into a large pot, stir in baking soda, and bring to a boil.
05:17 Once water is boiling, carefully lower a handful of pretzel bites into the water at a time. Boil for approximately 30 seconds (if pretzels are floating I’ll flip them and continue to boil another 15-30 seconds) then remove with a strainer or spider or pair of tongs and return to baking sheet, spacing pretzels at least 1-2” (2cm) apart. Repeat with remaining pretzel bites until all have been boiled.
06:01 Lightly brush pretzels with egg wash (I just do the surface that is exposed, I don’t flip them and brush the underside with egg wash, though you could) and sprinkle with pretzel salt or sea salt.
06:53 Transfer to 450F (230C) oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown. Allow to cool before enjoying. Pretzels are best enjoyed warm the same day they are made.
Notes
Flour
Bread flour is best for this recipe as it yields the more characteristically chewy pretzels you’re used to. However, all-purpose flour can be used in a pinch as a straight 1:1 substitution, just note that your pretzels will be less chewy and more fluffy.
Pretzel Salt
I can’t always find pretzel salt in stores. I’ve linked to where you can buy it on Amazon in the “Recommended Equipment” section above, but if you can’t find it you can use coarse sea salt instead.
Storing
These are best enjoyed warm the same day they are made, but they may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

These look awesome. We love them with mustard or cream cheese to dip them in.
Thank you! Yes, both options are delicious 😊
I'm one of your biggest fans, I made your Bagels simply delicious. Question have you ever made The famous "Aunt Anne's soft pretzel with sugar and cinnamon" if not can u try.
I actually provide instructions for making cinnamon sugar pretzels in my post! 😊
Looks delicious 😋 I love pretzles! I didn't know they are easy to make. I just wonder if I can wait for the dough to raise I want to eat them now. Thanks for the recipe. Happy New Year!
They're so easy to make--I hope you love them. 😊 Happy New Year!
Just made them and OMG they are absolutely divine! They taste exactly like the mall pretzles! 10/10!! Next time im going to double the recipe and try doing them with cinnamon and sugar too!
So glad you like them!
Made these last nights and they were gone so fast. My grandkids loved them!!!!
I'm so glad they loved them! Thanks for making my recipe 😊
I just used regular table salt and they turned out GREAT! 😋
I'll just remember to use a little more next time. 😉
Yay! Enjoy 😊
Thank you for the recipe. Question please: I really love the cinnamon/sugar pretzels. I’m not big on salt at all. So I was wondering if just instead of salt just add cinnamon/sugar at that point? Also, I just want to tell you how much I like your channel. You explain everything so well. So detailed. Thanks and happy new year 🎊🎈🎆
You can just skip the salt, brush them with melted butter after baking, and toss in cinnamon/sugar. Thanks so much for your sweet words. Happy New Year to you too! 😊
I would love to know how to make the dipping sauce I see in this video! 😊
I actually don't have a recipe for it. :( I was working on a beer cheese dip but just never quite got it right. :(
i do these same steps but my pretzels always stick to the pan or parchment paper no matter what i do.
When you were brushing the egg mixture on the bites, did you brush just the tops or the entire bite? Thanks for the great recipe. I love pretzel bites but didn't know how to make them.
I just do the surface that is exposed 😊

I've got you covered!

How do you keep the pretzels from sticking to the parchment paper? Did I miss a step?
How shall I change the ingredients in order to make hard pretzels? Thank you!
Unfortunately I think you'll need a different recipe. There would be many alterations needed here. :(
Can I use baking powder instead of baking sodam
They aren’t quite interchangeable so I don’t recommend it. 😔
Can I use all purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Yes, but your pretzels will be less chewy and more fluffy. 😊
Can I use all purpose flour instead?
You could, but the pretzel bites will turn out more fluffy than chewy.
Can you use almond flour?
I'm not sure how that would work 😔
If you don’t have any oil, can you use butter?
Yes, that should work fine!
@@SugarSpunRun thanks for getting back to me. It’s like I am talking to a celebrity!😀
Do you not have a written recipe?
In the description 😉
Oh if this is your idea of a simple recipe, I’d hate to see the difficult ones. 😅🤯
is "mall quality" meant to be a positive here?
If you've ever had freshly made, warm pretzel bites from a mall--you'll understand the reference 😊 They're delicious!
