Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled; plus more if needed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups warm milk (or water; around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 9 cups water
- ½ cup baking soda
- 1 large egg (mixed with 1 tablespoon of water)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, and salt. Mix with a dough hook on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little bit more flour.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring the water and baking soda to a boil in a large pot.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each into a ¾-inch rope and cut into 1-2 inch bites.
- Drop the bites into boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each one.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Serve with honey mustard!
Notes
For best results, use the correct amount of flour and avoid overcrowding while boiling the bites.
