Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites Recipe (2024)

Homemade Soft Pretzel Bites Recipe (1)

Make sure to REPIN this recipe 🙂

If you have been following me for a while you would know that I traveled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania each summer and stayed on a Mennonite Chicken and Dairy Cow Farm – each summer would be filled with cows escaping and trampling the garden or see 35,000 plus baby chicks being delivered to the chicken houses ( which seemed to go on for a city block) – my mom and I would have all these special traditions ( like going to Wilbur Chocolate Factory, going to the Herr’s Chip Factory, going to antique stores, and MOST important we would go to this little pretzel shop – this shop was run by Mennonites and it was so small you could easily miss it — they would make the BEST pretzels. This little shop you might have heard of it – Auntie Anne’s Pretzels 😉 Ever since they became huge my mom has never had an Auntie Anna’s pretzel she is funny in that way — she swears that they changed the recipe and it does not smell right. So I decided to try and make some homemade pretzel bites for her 🙂

I decided that I would not try and make the dough – I have been rocky with baking lately so I thought it would be best to try and use premade pizza crust ( do not worry it ended up being AMAZING Pretzel Bites)

Here is my dad helping me in the kitchen

I did not know what to do about the cheese sauce so I went with cheese whiz —- which I was shocked when my mom said it tasted like the cheese sauce from Auntie Anne’s — the most important part about making this dish is the baking soda bath that the pretzels must take

    AMAZING!!! A must try if you like pretzel bites from mall. Very simple to bake but I found that baking at 400 for 10 minutes worked better for me. Will make again. YUMMY!!

  • tammi

    These sound good, I will try them and the doughnut muffins with the goods.

  • Robin

  • Taylor

    Making these tomorrow! They look perfect. Anything I need to know or make sure I do correctly?

  • Taylor

    to make the pretzels does it have to be the pizza dough?

  • brooke

    WONDERFUL!! I added a step and rolled them in cinnamon and sugar and they were amazing!! The kids said they were better than the ones at them mall!! Thanks!

  • Jodie

    Font is difficult for elderly eyes. Even enlarging the screen. Please keep us in mind when submitting recipes.

  • Jennifer

    I wonder if the dough could be used for hot pockets? Like add the fillings, seal then bathe and then bake?

  • Meg

    I have made these for both my family and my husband’s family. Everyone loves them! Most recipes on pinterest I only make once or I feel I can modify to make better. These are perfect just the way they are. So delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe.

  • Jaime

    How many pretzel bites does this recipe make?

    • Sara

      About 20 of them

  • Allen

    Awesome!!!! Soooo easy as compared to making the dough from scratch and as far as taste goes, can’t tell the difference!!! I rolled mine into appx.6″ sticks and baked them, turned out excellent!!!!

  • Brandie

    We have made homemade pretzels for years, from Grandma’s old German recipe…. They are boiled in a bath with lye to get the pretzel flavor. Yes it’s strange to use something with the skull and crossbones to make your pretzels, but they are delish!

  • Steven Godfrey

    I’m curious as to why so much water, when they are just getting a bath in the water and baking soda. That will be wasting a lot of water. Can’t you cut that in half to maybe 1-1/2qts and a 1/4cup of baking soda?

  • TT Jones

    Looks so good. I’ll be making these for a party but will add jalapeños to the dough. Thanks for the recipe.

  • Kelli

    So sweet seeing your Dad working in the kitchen with you 🙂

  • Susan

    Awesome and love using the pizza dough!

  • glenelle bruneske

    Can yo make big pretzels like this as well?

    • Sara

      Yes you can

  • Tami Mayhew

    Thanks so much for this recipe. I usually make the dough from scratch, but this is an excellent substitute when I don’t have time for the dough to rise. People can’t tell the difference! We use the Totino’s cheese in the chip aisle – really tasty with the bites. For some of the readers who question the water/baking soda ratio – that’s what makes the pretzel flavor and texture.

  • Julie Watson

    These were excellent! Followed directions exactly & they came out great. I too baked mine at 400 for about 10-12 min. One suggestion I would make is to spray your parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray before baking the pretzel bites. I had a hard time getting mine to release from the parchment paper for my first batch, but it was much better after I had sprayed the parchment for the second batch.

  • Rhonda

    Can you make this in advance and bake later?

  • Sandra

    Made these today for a pool party, and they are wonderful! Only question I have is how do you keep them soft until time to set out?

  • Jennifer

    Do you have a recipe for making the pretzels , can we use a dough recipe and then do the bath that you are talking about? I so need some pretzels in my life and I need them like NOW.!!!❤️

  • Chrystal

    The entire pan lasted 5 minutes. So good! We did half salted and half with everything bagel seasoning (and a smidge of cream cheese when done). The family will be requesting often.
