Warm, pillowy, and rolled in a crackling cinnamon sugar crust, these little pretzel bites are the kind of snack that disappears from the bowl before it even hits the table. The dough comes together with just flour, yeast, water, salt, and a small amount of butter ā no milk, no cream, no cheese ā so the entire recipe is naturally free of lactose without any swaps or substitutions needed. That quick dip in a baking soda bath is what gives each bite its signature chewy, golden exterior, and it's a step that feels almost magical the first time you try it. After a fast bake at high heat, a brush of melted butter and a generous toss in cinnamon sugar turns them into something that tastes like a soft pretzel and a churro had a very delicious baby. They're best served warm straight from the sheet pan, though they reheat beautifully if you somehow manage to have leftovers.

Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5ā6 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and springs back when poked.
