📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm water, brown sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until the yeast becomes foamy.
2
Add the flour, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and the salt. Mix until the dough comes together, then knead for about 4–⏱️ 5 minutes until the dough is smooth. If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of flour until it becomes soft and workable.

3
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 20–⏱️ 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 450°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
5
In a large pot, combine the water and baking soda and bring it to a boil.
6
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Cut each rope into small pieces, about 1 inch long, to form the pretzel bites.
7
Working in batches, carefully lower the bites into the boiling baking soda water for about ⏱️ 1 minute total, flipping about halfway through. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each piece.
8
Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
