Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese 4% small curd
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoon baking soda
¼ cup butter melted
1 tablespoon pretzel salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Process the cottage cheese in a mini food processor until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt in a bowl. Add the blended cottage cheese and mix until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, form it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Cut the dough into four wedges.
Roll each piece of dough into a long 12-inch rope. Cut each rope into 12 pieces.
Dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Dunk a couple of pretzel nuggets at a time in the baking soda mixture, remove with a fork, allowing the excess liquid to drip off, and then place them on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
Bake at 425˚F for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown.
Brush pretzel bites with melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
