Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh turkey sausage
- 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture; mix until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned; drain excess fat and cool slightly.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide into golf ball-sized pieces. Flatten each piece and place some cooked sausage in the center. Fold over and pinch to seal.
- Boil water with baking soda in a large pot. Drop pretzel bites into boiling water for about 30 seconds on each side, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Place on prepared baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
