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
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds (as desired)
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.
- Make Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface.
- Knead Dough: Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and no longer sticky, preparing it for shaping.
- Shape Pretzel Bites: Divide the dough into small portions and shape each piece into a ball or mini pretzel shape according to your preference.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bites evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each piece with the beaten egg wash to achieve a shiny, golden crust.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your desired toppings such as coarse salt, cinnamon sugar, or sesame seeds over the egg-washed bites.
- Bake: Bake the pretzel bites in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pretzel bites to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to better set their texture and flavors.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt that is thick and unsweetened.
- If using all-purpose flour, make sure to add baking powder and salt to mimic self-rising flour.
- The egg wash is optional but recommended for a glossy finish and better browning.
- Experiment with different toppings like everything bagel seasoning or grated cheese for variety.
- The dough can be kept refrigerated for up to 1 day before baking.
