Take the dough pieces out of the water and place them on a baking tray. 4. Preheat your oven to 420F. 5. In a small bowl, mix the egg and water to create an egg wash. 6.

*The Coating*

**Here are some tips for making sugar pretzels:**
1: Use instant yeast: Instant yeast doesn’t need to be activated in warm water, so you can simply mix it with the flour and other ingredients. It also rises more quickly than active dry yeast.
2: Use baking soda in warm or even boiling water: Pretzel bites in water with baking soda is what gives them their distinctive flavor and texture. The baking soda causes a chemical reaction that creates a crispy crust on the outside of the pretzels.
3. Use parchment paper: Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet to prevent the pretzel bites from sticking.
4. Brush with butter: Once the pretzel bites are baked, brush them with melted butter and roll them in sugar. This will give them a delicious sweet and salty flavor.
5. Enjoy warm: Sugar pretzel bites are best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven. If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds.
