1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir until the yeast is dissolved and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

   Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small pieces, rolling each piece into a small ball to form the pretzel bites.

7. 7

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the baking soda.

8. 8

   Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
