These golden pretzel bites start with a simple yeasted dough that's kneaded until smooth, given a quick rise, then rolled into ropes and cut into bite-size pieces. A classic dip in a baking soda bath is what gives them that deep mahogany color and signature chew before they hit the oven. Fresh from the oven, they're sprinkled with coarse salt for that irresistible salty crunch in every bite. The dip alongside brings tangy yellow and Dijon mustard together with a splash of apple cider vinegar for a sharp, punchy contrast to the warm, doughy bites. Pull these apart while they're still warm and the inside stays soft and pillowy, making them perfect for sharing straight off the pan. This one's a solid pick for a vegan snack spread or game-day table.

Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl). Let stand for 5 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the yeast is visibly active.
Add the flour, fine salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook for 1 minute to bring the dough together, then increase to medium speed and knead for 5–6 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. If mixing by hand, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth.
