Description
These pretzel bites use sourdough discard for a tangy flavor and a chewy crust, making them a perfect quick snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling water bath)
- Sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a pot with about 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Have your baking soda ready nearby.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Gradually add the warm water and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a bite-sized ball. Drop a few bites at a time into the boiling water with the baking soda and boil for about 30 seconds.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and place the bites on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and glossy.
- Allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
For best results, serve warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 1 month.
