- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
- Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions
- Activate the yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water and yeast; let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix the dough: Combine flour and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Gradually add the yeast mixture while stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape: Punch down the dough, divide it into small pieces, roll each into ropes about 1 inch thick, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare bath: Boil water in a pot, add baking soda carefully. Dip each pretzel bite for 30 seconds before placing on parchment-lined baking sheet.
