3 Ingredient Pretzel Bites

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 cups cottage cheese
• 1 1/2 cups high-protein bread flour
• 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cups baking soda
• 1/4 cups unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp pretzel salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. To a medium size bowl: combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the cottage cheese and mix until a rough dough forms.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and form into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
4. Cut the dough into 4 wedges, then roll each piece into a 12-inch rope. Cut each rope into 12 pieces.
5. Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water then drop pretzel nuggets in for about 20-25 seconds at a time. Remove with a fork or slotted spoon to allow the excess liquid to drip off.
6. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. May broil for 2-3 minutes.
7. Brush pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
