Jam-Stuffed Pretzel Bites: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Snack
If you're looking for a fun and tasty snack that's perfect for any occasion, look no further than Jam-Stuffed Pretzel Bites! These bite-sized treats are a delicious twist on the classic pretzel, with a sweet and fruity surprise inside.

To make Jam-Stuffed Pretzel Bites, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup jam (any flavor you like)
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten
- Coarse salt, for sprinkling

This recipe makes about 24 pretzel bites.
To start, combine the warm water, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy. Add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc. Place a small spoonful of jam in the center of each disc, then fold the edges up and pinch them together to seal the jam inside.
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the baking soda to a boil. Drop the pretzel bites into the water, a few at a time, and let them boil for about 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the pretzel bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle them with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until they're golden brown and crispy.
These Jam-Stuffed Pretzel Bites are the perfect combination of sweet and salty, with a soft and chewy texture that's sure to satisfy your cravings. They're great for snacking on their own, or you can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
