Directions

1 Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let sit until the yeast dissolves (about 2-3 minutes).
3 Stir the sugar into the yeast mixture until dissolved.
4 Add the flour and salt. Stir to combine. The dough will be crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead with floured hands until smooth.
5 In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Set aside.
6 Divide the dough into 5 portions. Working with one at a time, roll the dough balls out into ropes that are about 1 inch in diameter. Use a sharp knife to cut 1-inch lengths of dough.
7 Drop each of the dough pieces into the egg mixture and immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place them about 1/2 inch apart. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
8 Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the dough has been cooked.
9 Melt the butter and brush all the pretzel bites with butter, then sprinkle with more salt.

Hint: spray the baking sheet with cooking oil before laying the parchment down – it will hold the paper in place.

Very good & very easy! I'm always leery about recipes with yeast, since I was scarred at an early age. :-} This tastes great. Also, terrific advice on the "Baking soda bath" prior to brushing egg/salt sprinkle. Most impressive. Thanks. :-D

To make these taste more for like pretzels, poach them in a baking soda bath before brushing them (not dunking them in!) with egg. 2 quarts boiling water to 1/4 cup baking soda. Don't pour the baking soda in all at once! Boil bites for 30 seconds a side, brush with egg and sprinkle with salt, then bake.
