Ingredients
  

For the pretzel bites
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp baking soda for boiling bath
  • Coarse sea salt for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In another bowl, mix the gluten-free flour blend, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Pour the yeast mixture into the dry mix and stir until a dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead briefly, and cut it into small bite-sized pieces.
  5. In a pot, boil about 4 cups of water and add the baking soda.
  6. Drop the pretzel bites in batches into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  7. Place on a greased baking sheet, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.

Notes

These bites can hang out in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to a month and reheat in the oven. Don’t over-knead and monitor boiling time to avoid rubbery bites. Different toppings such as garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning can be used for flair.
