Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 3 tbsp butter or ghee, melted
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 + 1/4 cup gluten free baking flour (Cup-4-Cup or Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 baking flour recommended)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

For Egg Wash & Topping

  • 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
  • Flakey sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the plain Greek-style yogurt, melted butter or ghee, and honey until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the gluten free baking flour, baking powder, and sea salt using a sturdy spatula, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Prepare Work Surface: Clean your work surface thoroughly and lightly sprinkle it with gluten free flour to prevent the dough from sticking during shaping.
  5. Shape Dough: Turn the dough out onto the floured surface; if sticky, roll it lightly in more flour. Divide the dough into 5 equal portions for easier handling.
  6. Form Logs and Cut: Roll each portion into a log about 6 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Brush each log evenly with the whisked egg wash, then cut into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
  7. Arrange and Season: Place the pretzel bite pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Sprinkle each piece with flaky sea salt to enhance flavor and texture.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until browned and cooked through, resulting in a golden crust with a soft interior.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the pretzel bites to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a gluten free white cheddar sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute ghee with melted butter or a dairy-free alternative to keep the recipe dairy-free if needed.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon more gluten free flour at a time to help manage consistency.
  • Use gluten free flour blends specifically designed for baking to get the best texture and rise from your pretzel bites.
  • Brushing with egg wash adds a beautiful golden color and promotes browning; substitute with milk or a milk alternative for a vegan version.
  • For extra flavor, try sprinkling with cinnamon sugar instead of sea salt for a sweet twist.
  • These pretzel bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
