Follow The Directions
01
Step
Gather all ingredients. (5 minutes)
02
Step
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a cohesive ball. (2 minutes)
04
Step
Roll the dough into ropes approximately 3/4-inch thick. (3 minutes)
05
Step
Cut each rope into roughly 5-inch segments, then roll each segment into a small ball. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
07
Step
Meanwhile, bring the water to a rolling boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. (8 minutes)
08
Step
Carefully add the baking soda to the boiling water. (1 minute)
09
Step
Gently drop the dough balls into the boiling water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook until the pretzel bites float to the surface. (3-5 minutes per batch)
10
Step
Remove the cooked pretzel bites from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and transfer them to the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches. (2 minutes per batch)
11
Step
Air fry until the pretzel bites are lightly browned and crisp, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. (8-10 minutes)
12
Step
Lightly spray the air-fried pretzel bites with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle generously with coarse kosher salt. (2 minutes)
13
Step
Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces such as mustard, cheese sauce, or cinnamon sugar.
For a sweeter variation, brush the cooked pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Experiment with different seasonings such as ranch seasoning, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning for a unique flavor twist.
Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow for even cooking and optimal browning.
