3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soft unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 cup water
Water Bath:
1 1/2 to 2 quarts water
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup baking soda
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) a large baking sheet.
Mix and knead the dough ingredients together. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the water bath. Combine the water, salt, and baking soda in a saucepan. The water should fill the pan at least 1 1/4" deep.
Punch down the dough on a lightly greased work surface, then divide it into 24 pieces. Cover and bring water bath to a boil.
Drop the pretzel bites, about six at a time, into the water bath. Cook for 30 seconds, then return them to the baking sheet using a slotted spoon or spider, and sprinkle with salt.
Bake the pretzel bites for 18 to 22 minutes, until they're a deep golden brown. Remove the pretzel bites from the oven, and serve with your favorite mustard, honey mustard or cheese sauce.
