Soft Mini Pretzels Bites (Cinnamon Sugar, Garlic Parmesan, & Sea Salt)
If you’re looking for an innexpensive recipe to serve and make for a ton of hungry football party goers, this is it! You can make this recipe with basic ingredients that you probably already have in the house. I also love that you can flavor up the pretzels anyway you’d like using the same recipe. I made three of my favorite flavors, but you can get as create as you want with it! I think I’m going to try chocolate walnut pretzel next!

Mix together yeast and warm water. Pour in sugar and combine.

Pour in the melted butter and only 3 cups of the flour and combine. Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl, then add to bowl and mix well.

After the eggs are completely mixed in, add the remaining 3 cups of flour and salt. If you have a hard time mixing the flour in, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time.
-
Cover the dough with wax paper and a towel.
-
Place it in a warmer area and allow it to rise for about 45 minutes.

Add flour to the countertop or a pastry cloth.

Tear pieces of the dough off and roll it into mini balls. (About 1 1/2 tablespoon sized)
-
Form the dough balls into mini pretzels.

Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Add a layer of butter over the top of the pretzel dough and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top.

-
Bake 15-20 minutes.
-
Mix 1/2 – 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1/2 tablespoon milk for the icing. If it’s too thick, add more milk. If it’s too runny, add more powdered sugar.

The sea salt pretzels are best when dipped in yellow mustard.
-
The garlic parmeson pretzels are best served with pizza sauce
-
Enjoy!

Imogen says
these look so good! i haven’t experimented much with dough before, except for attemping cinammon rolls which kinda turned out on the tougher side instead of soft, but hopefully these will turn out like yours!
Taralynn McNitt says
This is an easy recipe so you should be good to go!!
Roxanna says
How long can you leave them out before they get hard!? I can’t wait to try!
Taralynn McNitt says
Probably a couple of days! Just leave them covered or in a closed container:)

Heather @ Polyglot Jot says
yum these look great! I bet a southwestern style pretzel with cumin, garlic, onion powder, and chili flakes would be great!

Chelsea says
Are these ok to make ahead of time? Or best served fresh??
Taralynn McNitt says
Best served fresh but you can heat them back up in the oven.
Mia says
Aren’t you supposed to boil pretzels to give them that pretzel texture?
Taralynn McNitt says
You can boil them in water with baking soda, but baking them without that process does the trick too
Mandi says
You havnt done any updates lately are u ok?
Taralynn McNitt says
Yes:) We had to make a quick trip to New York for a funeral and we’ve been go go go, so I’ll get one up soon.
Alli says

Your recipes are so fun. My boyfriend and I think it would be cool to make a buffalo pretzel with blue cheese crumbles.
