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.
