In reply to leis. Hi Leis! You can bloom the yeast in the warm water. You will use the same amount.

My mistake in my prior comment about the flour measurement in the comments. (Should have know - YOU are the expert). The 2 cups is just the initial amount to mix, adding more if needed.

I’m making these today, and thought you’d want to know that the instructions contain a “leftover” flour ingredient quantity of 2 cups (250 g) and also this recipe’s flour ingredient quantity of 3 cups (375g). Can’t wait to make them. I am addicted to several of your recipes, and my two favorite are The Worst Chocolate Chip Cookies, and your Artisan Bread. Thank you for how do-able you make great baking!

In reply to Emily Dahmen. Hi Emily! How long do you plan on letting them sit in the refrigerator? If you make the dough you could let it rise in the refrigerator, but if the dough sits too long it could over-proof.

I love making these but have always wondered, can these be made ahead of time and placed in the fridge? Thanks!

These are the best pretzel bites i’ve ever had. I make them for road trips and bring rico’s cheese cups for dipping. 🙂

I decided to make the pretzel bites and the beer cheese. OMG it was fantastic! My husband and I both loved it! The next day I warmed the bites in my toaster oven with foil over them then removed the foil to crisp them slightly. I just reheated the cheese in the microwave on low and kept stirring. It was all just as good the second time around. Sam, you are THE BEST!

In reply to Karen Schnee. Hi Karen! That should work. You will want to double the yeast. :)

These are delicious and not difficult at all with your instructional video. Can this recipe be doubled? I wondered specifically if the yeast should be doubled.

wow! These are a good as Auntie Annies but less greasy!! I made them this morning and I’ve already eaten 4 of them. I’ve got to perfect my shaping skills though 😉

I recently made these pretzel bites for movie night and they were fabulous!! Easy to make and the result was delicious, perfectly salty, soft pretzel bites.

In reply to Get Creative. I haven't personally tried it, but I think it could work. :)

Looks great can you use pizza flour for this?
either way I can’t wait to try this.

Made these for daughter’s youth group party and they were a big hit! We did half salted and half with cinnamon sugar, both were great.
