Step 1

Add water to a bowl and heat it to about 110 degrees F. That’s basically just warm water - not hot and not cold.

Step 2

Add yeast and whisk together. Set the bowl aside.

Step 3

Next, grab a large bowl, and mix together the flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Pour the water-yeast mixture to the flour mix, and stir until a dough forms — you may need to add another tablespoon or so of water, but you want that dough to be nice and thick and not too sticky!

Step 5

Sprinkle some flour to a countertop, and divide the dough into 8 pieces.

Step 6

Roll the dough into eight ropes.

Step 7

Slice the dough into 1-inch piece.

Step 8

Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with oil of choice.

Step 9

Place pretzel bites into the basket, giving them enough room to expand. Brush them with melted butter.

Step 10

Cook for 7 minutes at 400 degrees F, or until lightly browned on top.

Step 11

Remove from air fryer, and once slightly cooled, transfer them to a plate.

Step 12

Brush them once more with remaining butter and sprinkle pretzel salt on top.

Step 13

Enjoy!
