What's In These Pretzel Bites?

Three ingredients, that's it! Really! This type of recipe was created by Weight Watchers and has so many different varieties! You can make this recipe into bagels, pizza dough, or even cinnamon rolls!

Ingredients for the 3 ingredient pretzel bites

Self rising flour- Self rising flour is simply unbleached flour with baking powder and a little bit of salt in it. King Arthur has an amazing self rising flour brand but you can make your own homemade self rising flour too. Most flour companies are making this type of flour, so use your favorite variety. If you have all purpose flour make sure you check out my post about self rising flour vs all purpose flour. You cannot use all purpose flour in this recipe, unfortunately.

Greek yogurt- Greek yogurt adds the liquid and texture to this recipe. Don't substitute regular Non-Greek yogurt, it's not thick enough and you'll have to add a lot more flour than what this calls for. Full fat Greek yogurt would be a little too thick as well, so stick with fat free Greek yogurt for the perfect dough consistency.

Egg- The egg becomes the egg wash for the pretzel bites. The egg wash creates a crispy crust so you get that chewy, crispy outside like you would a regular pretzel.

Step-By-Step Instructions

The self rising flour and Greek yogurt in a bowl — **Step 1:** Take equal parts self rising flour and Greek yogurt and mix them in a bowl. The dough gets very sticky so use a wooden spoon and then don't be afraid to get your hands in there and mix the dough further.

Roll it into a log and cut the log into bite sized pieces — **Step 2:** Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Take the dough out of the bowl, cut it into two pieces, roll each piece into a long log about 12 inches long. The dough will be sticky. If you need to add some more flour, feel free! It should still be a little sticky, but use enough flour to make it easy to roll out. Cut the dough into bite sized pieces, about one inch long.

Brush the egg wash over the 3 ingredient pretzel bites — **Step 3:** Place the pretzel bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Crack the egg into a small bowl and scramble the egg. Brush the egg wash on the dough.

Bake the bites — **Step 4:** Sprinkle the dough with your favorite toppings. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Enjoy!

Questions about this Recipe

Can I make these Gluten Free?

Yes! There are plenty of amazing gluten free self rising flours on the market today. Use your favorite one in this recipe.

Can I use regular flour?

You need to use self rising flour in this recipe, but you can easily make your own. To make your own, for every 1 cup of all purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Can I make this ahead of time?

These don't store well once they are baked because the salt makes the pretzel bites soggy. If you want to make them ahead of time, make the dough, put it in the refrigerator, and then when you are ready to bake the bites, roll the dough, and bake them normally. If you are having a large party, these can easily be doubled and tripled to serve a crowd. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Can I make these into regular sized pretzels?

Yes! You can make them into long pretzel sticks, or you can make them into regular pretzels. The dough can be a little sticky to work with, so you make need a little extra flour when shaping the pretzels.
