Homemade fluffy soft pretzel bites sprinkled with sea salt make the perfect snack to enjoy for a game day or any time. These homemade pretzel bites are so fluffy and delicious, and because they are bite-sized instead of a full-sized pretzel, they are better for sharing. They taste great served with mustard or a creamy cheese dip. Serve these fluffy pretzel bites at your next game day for a salty and delicious snack that everyone will enjoy.
The dough to make these pretzel bites are easy to make, it only needs one rise before baking. Instead of twisting the pretzels, all you need to do is divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a bite-sized ball. Combine water with baking soda in a large saucepan over medium heat. Drop the pretzel bites in batches into the boiling water and baking soda. Let the bites boil for about 20 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon. Place the pretzel bites onto a large baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden browned.
