Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup baking soda (for boiling)
• 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix the Dough: Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined, then knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
3. Shape the Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 1-inch thick. Cut each rope into bite-sized pieces.
4. Boil the Bites: In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a gentle boil. Carefully add pretzel bites in batches, boiling for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain.
5. Prepare for Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Brush each pretzel bite with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
6. Air Fry: Place the pretzel bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite dip or condiment.
