Delicious soft pretzel bites with a sourdough twist, perfect for sharing or enjoying alone.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough discard
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup baking soda
  • Coarse salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sourdough discard, warm water, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the flour gradually, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 30-60 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  6. Bring at least 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot and carefully add the baking soda.
  7. Cut the risen dough into small pieces and shape them into bite-sized balls.
  8. Boil each piece in the baking soda water for about 30 seconds.
  9. Place the boiled bites on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the dough a day in advance for improved flavor. Consider using an air fryer for a fluffier texture.
