Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

1. In a large bowl (or stand mixer) mix together warm water #1, honey, yeast, and butter.
2. Let stand about 5 minutes until yeast starts to bubble.
3. Add salt and flour and mix until dough comes together.
4. Place dough in a large, greased bowl (I like to use butter) and cover with a clean towel.
5. Allow to rise in a draft free place (I stick mine in my microwave or oven if it is a chilly day) for about one hour until doubled in size.
6. Meanwhile, bring water #2 to a boil in a large pot.
7. Stir in baking soda and lower heat slightly.
8. Divide dough into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 12-18 inches long and about 1.5 inches thick. Cut the rope into one inch pieces
9. Place pieces into boiling water in batches. Boil for about 30 seconds and remove with a slotted spoon.
10. Place on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper.
11. Be sure pretzel bites are not touching. Mix egg and water #3 together, then brush bites with egg wash, and sprinkle with coarse salt.
12. Bake at 425 for 18-20 minutes until nicely browned.
13. Cool on a baking rack for a few minutes before serving.
