Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups water ~110˚F
- 2 ¼ teaspoon quick rise yeast see notes for active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- pretzel salt optional
Optional Baking Soda Bath
- 4 cups water
- ⅓ cup baking soda
Optional Egg Wash

Instructions
Make the Dough
- In a medium mixing bowl combine the water and yeast. Stir.
- Add the flour, sugar, and sea salt and stir until it is mostly combined.
- Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough by hand for 1 minute, bringing it into a ball. Divide the dough into eighths.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into ropes.
- With a floured knife, slice the dough into 1-inch pieces.
- Lightly brush the basket of the air fryer with olive oil. Place pretzel bites into the basket, giving them enough room to expand.
- Cook for 6 minutes at 390˚F, or until lightly browned on top.
- If using the butter method, brush melted butter on top of hot pretzel bites and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
Notes
If you only have active yeast and not instant/quick-rise, allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes before rolling.
