INGREDIENTS You Need

This Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites recipe is all about simplicity, but don’t let that fool you – the flavor is BOLD!

  • 2 cups Self-Rising Flour: This is the base of our dough. You can grab this during your normal shopping trip. No worries if you don’t have self-rising flour – you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per cup of all-purpose flour.
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt: This adds moisture and tang to our dough. I love using full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture, but low-fat works too. This Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites gets its amazing texture from the Greek yogurt!
  • 1 large Egg: For egg wash on top of the dough.
  • Coarse Sea Salt: To sprinkle on top for that classic pretzel flavor. I love adding extra to my Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites for that extra salty kick!
  • Optional Toppings: Everything bagel seasoning, parmesan cheese, cinnamon sugar, or your favorite pretzel toppings.

Here’s my Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites secret that takes it from good to incredible – experiment with different toppings! I once tried a spicy blend with chili powder and cumin, and it was a total game-changer. For storage, keep your self rising flour in a cool dry place to keep it as fresh as possible for your Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites.

Let’s Make Some!

Get ready for some delicious magic – these Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites are surprisingly easy to make!

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps the Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites bake evenly and prevents sticking.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a dough forms. It might seem a little dry at first, but keep mixing – it will come together.
  3. Knead: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. This step is important for getting that perfect pretzel texture.
  4. Shape the Bites: Divide the dough into smaller, manageable pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces. These will be your Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites.
  5. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with the egg wash. This gives them that beautiful golden-brown color. This is where the magic starts happening!
  6. Sprinkle with Salt: Sprinkle the Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites with coarse sea salt or your favorite toppings. Don’t be shy! The salt really enhances the pretzel flavor.
  7. Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. In my kitchen, this Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites usually takes about 13 minutes to get that perfect golden color.
  8. Cool & Enjoy: Let the pretzel bites cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Your Two Ingredient Dough Pretzel Bites should smell absolutely incredible right now!
