Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat or low-fat)
Toppings
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until the mixture forms a dough.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and non-sticky, ensuring it has the right texture for shaping.
- Shape Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small portions and shape each into a ball or a small pretzel form according to your preference.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the shaped bites on the prepared baking sheet, brush each piece with the beaten egg wash for a shiny golden crust, then sprinkle with your choice of coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds for flavor and texture.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the bites for 18 to 20 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly before enjoying them warm.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour simplifies the recipe, but if unavailable, you can substitute with all-purpose flour plus baking powder and salt as indicated.
- Egg wash is optional but recommended for a glossy finish and better topping adhesion.
- For a sweet version, try cinnamon sugar topping instead of salt or seeds.
- These pretzel bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Adjust the size of the bites based on your preference; smaller pieces bake a bit faster.
