Eggless Snackable Soft Pretzel Bites

Chewy, golden, and brushed with melted butter the moment they come out of the oven — these soft pretzel bites are the kind of snack that disappears before the baking sheet even hits the counter. The dough comes together with just yeast, flour, water, butter, and salt, so there's no egg in sight and no need to swap or substitute a thing. What gives these bites their signature deep mahogany crust and that unmistakable pretzel chew is the baking soda bath — a quick 30-second dip in boiling water before they hit the 450°F oven does all the heavy lifting. It's a technique that sounds fancier than it is, and once you've done it once, you'll wonder why you ever bought the frozen kind. The recipe makes six generous portions, so they're perfect for a crowd, a game-day spread, or an after-school snack that feels genuinely special. Finish them with a shower of coarse flaky salt and serve them warm — that's really all they need.
