Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.3333 cup Baking soda
• 2 cups Hot water
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the salt and flour to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into sections. Roll each section into long ropes about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces to form the nibblers.

Step 7

In a large bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the 2 cups of hot water.

Step 8

Submerge the pretzel pieces into the baking soda solution, ensuring they are fully coated. Remove and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the pretzel pieces with coarse sea salt.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and brush the pretzels with melted butter while still warm.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade pretzel nibblers with your favorite dipping sauces!
