Soft, chewy, and rolled in a buttery cinnamon sugar coating, these 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, salt, butter, and water ā a beautifully straightforward lineup with absolutely no rice or rice-derived ingredients hiding anywhere in the mix. That matters more than you'd think, since rice flour and rice starch sneak into a surprising number of packaged snack foods and baked goods as fillers or coatings. Here, everything is made from scratch, so you stay in full control of what goes into every bite. The classic baking soda bath is what gives these their signature chewy, pretzel-y exterior before they hit the oven and turn deep golden brown. Once they're out, a generous brush of melted butter followed by a toss in cinnamon sugar takes them somewhere between a soft pretzel and a churro ā in the best possible way. Serve them warm and watch them vanish.
