Pretzel bites are all the rage right now in a few of the fitness Facebook groups I’m in, more so the two-ingredient ones.

I had the greek yogurt, but I didn’t have self-rising flour.

Instead, I used the pantry staples I did have on hand and it worked out perfectly.

It’s a simple method, mix, dip, and bake.

No rising, no waiting, no boiling.

I was able to have a batch done from start to finish in about twenty minutes.

This recipe is vegetarian (but not vegan due to the Greek yogurt). If you’re looking for a vegan appetizer try these tasty vegan sausage balls.

Ingredients Needed

Everything needed to make this recipe is probably already in your kitchen already.

The flaked sea salt for finishing is worth the extra effort to buy, it really brings the bites to the next level (regular table salt doesn’t hit the same, but you can still give it a try if that’s all you have on hand).

For the Soft Pretzel Bites

• All purpose flour
• Baking powder
• 0% plain greek yogurt

Baking Soda Bath

• Baking soda
• Water

For the Toppings

• Melted butter
• Flaked sea salt

Baking Soda Bath for Pretzels

If you want your pretzels to be golden brown on the outside, but soft and fluffy on the inside then I suggest you take the extra step and make a baking soda bath.

Combine 1/2 cup of hot water with a tablespoon of baking soda and stir to dissolve.

You’ll dip the homemade pretzel bites in the water and then add them to the sheet pan that’s lined with parchment paper.

Savory Toppings

You could just leave the pretzels as as as they come out of the oven, but if you want to go the extra mile I recommend brushing them in melted butter and topping them with flakey sea salt.

I used this finishing salt but you can also use Maldon sea salt flakes.

Supplies Needed

You don’t need anything special to make these pretzels. 

• Mixing bowl
• Dough hook (I used my Kitchenaid Mixer but you can use dough hooks with hand mixers)
• Floured surface (I just sprinkled additional flour on my countertops to roll out the dough)
• Silicone brush
• Baking sheet

How to Make Pretzel Bites

You’ll love these easy pretzel bites. If you’re a beginner in the kitchen, I promise that you can do this.

Serve this with Velveeta Beer Cheese Dip, honey mustard, spicy mustard, or eat it on its own.

You can also use the base of this recipe and turn it into Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites (I made half and half and they were both delicious).

The instructions for this recipe were inspired by King Arthur Flours Yeast Pretzels.
