Brandy over at Gluesticks recently featured her very yummy pretzel bites. After seeing a couple of pictures of them, I just had to try them. I guess everyone liked them, because they were gone in about 15 min. !!
Homemade Pretzel Bites
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 T. plus 1/4 tsp. yeast
3 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. + 2 T powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vegetable oil
Bath:
2 c. warm water
1/4 c. baking soda
Place all ingredients (except bath mixture) into bread machine and run the dough cycle.
{If you do not have a bread machine, make these like any other dough. Mix water/yeast (let sit 10 minutes), add dry ingredients, knead, raise until doubled.}
When dough is done, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Make a bath for the pretzels by combining the baking soda with warm water and stir until soda is mostly dissolved (it won't dissolve completely).
Roll out dough into a long rectangle (about 12"x24"). Using a pizza cutter, cut into small 2" sections.
Dip each dough square into the water/soda bath and place on a greased baking sheet. If you are making salted or garlic pretzels, sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 4 minutes, then rotate pan and bake another 4 minutes.
If you are making the cinnamon sugar pretzels, brush on butter after they are cooked and sprinkle with cinn./sugar mixture.
Then, enjoy!!
(by the way, do not use wax paper like I did, instead use a greased cookie sheet).
