Description
Deliciously soft and chewy pretzel bites made from sourdough discard, perfect for snacking or sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sourdough discard
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- Coarse salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sourdough discard, warm water, sugar, and salt until well blended.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough starts to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large pot, bring at least 6 cups of water to a boil and whisk in the baking soda.
- Once the dough has risen, cut it into small pieces and shape them into bite-sized balls or pretzel shapes.
- Boil each piece in the baking soda water for about 30 seconds, turning them halfway.
- Place the boiled bites on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and aromatic.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
