Ingredients
  

Bite Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 1 large sweetpotato cooked and mashed

Topping Ingredients

  • 8 cups water
  • ½ cup baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbso water
  • Course Sea Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add dough hook attachment to KitchenAid and mix flour, yeast, garlic powder and salt for 15-20 seconds, until mixed evenly. Next, add in melted butter and warm water, and mix on low for 2-3 minutes.
  • Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 more minutes.
  • Transfer dough to bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 2-2.5 hours, or until dough has risen and doubled in size.
  • Break dough into 35- 40 small bite sized pieces.
  • Cook your sweetpotato. I like to microwave for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked. Once it cools, separate into 30-40 small circles to stuff in the dough.
  • Take your dough and press it around each little piece of sweetpotato, to create a sweetpotato stuffed dough bite.
  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Line sweetpotato doughbites on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Mix 8 cups water and baking soda in large pot and bring to medium high heat. Heat until the baking soda is dissolved.
  • Using tongs or a largespoon, dip each sweetpotato pretzel bite into baking soda water mixture and hold for 20-25 seconds. Then transfer back to parchment lined baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix egg with 1 tablespoon of water to form egg mixture.
  • Brush egg wash over each bite and then top with sea salt or coarse salt, to your taste.
  • Put baking sheets with bites in the oven and bake until the bites are golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Let cool at least 10 minutes and serve warm with mustard or marinara sauce, for dipping.
