Ingredients

For Pretzel Bites

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon egg whites
  • 2 teaspoon water
  • 2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

For Cheese Sauce

  • cup reduced fat milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon gluten free flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 450ºF and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Add yeast, warm milk and sugar to a stand mixing fitted with paddle attachment. Stir mixture to combine and let sit 10 minutes to get frothy. Add flour and sea salt and mix on low speed for 3 minutes to form a dough. If dough is too moist, add 2-3 teaspoons of additional flour.
  • While dough mixes, fill a large pot with water halfway and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll the dough into 4 (10 inch) stands on a clean countertop. Slice each strand into 8-10 pieces using a sharp knife.
  • Once water is boil, slowly add baking soda. Add 8-10 pretzel bites to boiling water and boil for 20 seconds. Remove using a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel lined plate or tray to dry while cooking remaining pretzel bites.
  • Arrange all pretzel bites on baking sheet and brush with egg white mixture, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until golden brown. Cool bites for 5 minutes.
  • While pretzels bake, heat reduced fat milk and butter over medium heat until steaming, about 5 minutes. Whisk in sharp cheddar cheese, mustard and sea salt until cheese is completely melted. Gradually whisk in teaspoon of gluten-free flour to thicken sauce slightly. Heat for 1-2 minutes longer. Divide mixture between 6 small sauce cups. Place 6 pretzel bites in 6 MPOF snack containers and add cheese sauce cups.
