Gluten Free Pretzel Bites Recipe

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour it into the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it is smooth and easy to handle.

4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with cooking spray.

5. Divide the dough into small sections and roll each section into long ropes, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch each.

6. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Gently drop a few pretzel bites into the boiling water and let them cook for about 30 seconds. They will rise to the surface when ready.

7. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pretzel bites from the water and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this step with the remaining dough.

8. Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt for that classic pretzel flavor.

9. Bake the pretzel bites in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

10. Once baked, allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or eat them as they are for a tasty snack!
