Description
Delightful, chewy morsels perfect for game days and family movie nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled; add more if needed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups warm milk (or water, around 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 9 cups water
- ½ cup baking soda
- 1 large egg (mixed with 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, warm milk, melted butter, and salt.
- Mix with a dough hook on medium speed for about 4-5 minutes until a smooth dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, bring the water and baking soda to a boil.
- Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a ¾-inch rope and cut into 1-2 inch bites.
- Drop the bites into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets with some space in between each.
- Brush each bite with the egg wash and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve them warm with honey mustard!
