Allergens

Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups gluten
• free all
• purpose flour 2 tsp granulated sugar 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast 1 cup warm milk (110°F) 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder Cooking oil for frying Herb Dipping Sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, sugar, and instant yeast. Add in the warm milk, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead the dough gently for about 3 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C).
4. Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Gently drop them into the hot oil and cook until they're golden brown on all sides. Remove the pretzel bites with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. For the herb dipping sauce, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, finely chopped chives, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Serve alongside the pretzel bites for an irresistible snacking experience.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect texture, be sure not to overmix or overknead the dough during preparation. The pretzel bites should be soft and chewy when cooked correctly.

Notes

Serve these gluten-free German pretzel bites with a refreshing beverage like sparkling apple cider for an authentic experience.
