Delish Pretzel Bites

These yummy treats even make a Robot's mouth water! I decided to illustrate this one! All illustrations by me!

ONE PACKAGE OF DRY YEAST

6 TABLESPOONS OF BUTTER 3/4 STICK

1 EGG

1/4 CUP OF SUGER

1 TEASPOON SALT

1 CUP OF WHOLE MILK

5 CUPS OF ALL PURPOSE FLOUR ( PLUS EXTRA FOR KNEADING )

COOKING SPRAY

COARSE SALT

1/4 CUP OF SUGAR MIXED WITH ONE TEASPOON OF CINNAMON

MEASURE 1/2 A CUP OF WARM WATER, THEN SPRINKLE THE YEAST ON TOP. STIR WELL AND LET SIT FOR 10MIN

PUT BUTTER IN A SMALL POT. MELT OVER VERY LOW HEAT. MEASURE OUT 1/4 CUP AND SET ASIDE TO COOL. SET ASIDE THE POT FOR LATER.

SEPARATE THE EGG WHITE FROM THE EGG YOLK. KEEP THE EGG WHITE IN A SMALL BOWL AND PUT THE EGG YOLK IN A LARGE BOWL ALONG WITH, SUGAR, SALT, 1/4 MELTED BUTTER, AND YEAST MIXTURE. STIR WHITH A WOODEN SPOON UNTIL WELL BLENDED. START ADDING THE FLOUR IN ONE CUP AT A TIME, STIRRING WELL AFTER EACH CUP.

AFTER YOU HAVE ADDED THE FLOUR,TURN THE DOUGH OUT ONTO A LIGHTLY FLOURED CUTTING BOARD AND KNEAD FOR 5MIN.KEEP PUSHING DOWN ON THE DOUGH AND ROLLING IT BACK UP INTO A BALL UNTIL IT ISNT STICKY ANYMORE. SPRAY THE INSIDE OF ANOTHER LARGE BOWL WITH COOKING SPRAY UNTIL ITS COATED.PUT THE DOUGH INTO THE BOWL,COVER IT WITH A TOWEL, AND LEAVE IT IN A WARM PLACE FOR AN HOUR.

SPRAY A COOKIE SHEET ALL OVER WITH COOKING SPRAY. TURN THE OVEN TO 425 DEGREES.

TAKE THE DOUGH AND SHAPE IT INTO LITTLE BITE SIZED PIECES. THEN PUT THEM ON THE COOKIE SHEET.

TAKE THE EGG WHITE AND A BIT OF WATER TO IT, AND THEN BRUSH IT ONTOP OF THE PRETZELS. THEN SPRINKLE THEM WITH A BIT OF SALT OR CINNAMON SUGAR.

BAKE THEM FOR 15MIN OR UNTIL LIGHT BROWN.

TAKE THEM OUT OF THE OVEN, AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT BUTTER THEM WHITH A PASTRY BRUSH. THEN SPRINKLE COARSE SALT, OR CINNAMON SUGAR ON THEM.

ENJOY! MADE BY ROBOT SIBLING03
