Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat, or low-fat)
Toppings and Finishing
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
- Make the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a dough forms that is slightly sticky but manageable.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and no longer sticky, which helps develop the texture.
- Shape the Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball or shape them into little pretzels, depending on your preference.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the shaped dough pieces on the lined baking sheet. Brush them with the beaten egg wash to give a glossy finish and help toppings stick.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds over the coated bites for added flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pretzel bites for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving, so they firm up just enough for the perfect bite.
Notes
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt as indicated.
- The egg wash is optional but helps achieve a shiny, golden crust.
- For a sweeter variation, use cinnamon sugar instead of salt or seeds.
- Store leftover pretzel bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness before serving.
