Sourdough Pretzel Bites
These easy sourdough pretzel bites with homemade cheese dip are simply delectable! I usually end up doubling the recipe because they are such a big hit around here!
Equipment
- 1 KitchenAid Mixer
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Sourdough Starter
- 3/4 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 packet Instant Yeast (equal to 2 tsp)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- In a mixer (we use a kitchenaid mixer) add in the sourdough starter, water, sugar, yeast, salt, and flour
- Mix dough in the mixer for about 5 minutes (It should be sticky dough but not enough that pieces stick to your hands)
- Form the dough into a ball
- Take a bowl (we use the bowl of a stand mixer), spray the bowl, and place ball of dough in it
- Cover bowl with a towel, let it sit in a warm place and let the dough rise for about an 1hr and 30 mins or until it's doubled in size
- Roll dough out with about 2 tsp of flour
- Cut into forths. From there, roll out the sections and cut into little pieces (this will be the size of your pretzel bites)
- Place pretzel sized dough on a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- Heat 1/2 cup of water until it boils
- Add 1 tsp of baking soda to boiling water
- Brush this water and baking soda mix onto pretzel bites
- Pre heat oven to 500 degrees
- While oven is preheating, cover pretzel bites with a towel to allow them to rise a little more
- Put in the oven for 8 minutes. Pretzels will be golden brown.
