Whole Wheat Pretzel Bites

Number one all time favorite airport food: Auntie Anne's pretzels. So if you ever run into me in at an airport and you see me scarfing down an almond crusted pretzel, don't judge. Just come say hi. We're all human. Sometimes you just gotta eat a pretzel while your traveling. I don't care how long the line is or if it's "only" 10am. I'm at an airport. I wantz a pretzel.I learned to make pretzels at home last year and I was in the mood again earlier this week. Because I just don't travel enough to get my pretzel fix. Instead of the usual I decided to try a mini version, and adding in some whole wheat flour. I followed the same basic recipe and method but instead of 3 cups all-purpose flour I used 2 1/2 cup all-purpose and 1/2 cup whole wheat. I also added sesame seeds to the tops. :) The addition of whole wheat does make the dough a little less elastic, so it's a little more fussy to roll out.It's a fun variation. And I really love the bite-size. Actually, I love bite-size anything. xo. Emma

Ohhh these look delicious! The first time I ever saw a 'real' pretzel was when I went to America two years ago, but now I'm in love!

I have a similar addiction to Auntie Anne's, and I too don't get my "fix" nearly often enough. I will definitely be trying this recipe! Always enjoy your recipe posts Emma, love how your sense of humor comes out!

This looks adorable. Totes.
Also, I wish my airport had an Auntie Anne's pretzel shop... There used to be one in our mall back in Northern Virginia, but alas... I have moved far away from there. I still remember getting the hot hot hot cinnamon sugar pretzel and eating it from the wax paper bag as we walked the mall looking for Natural Wonders (does anyone but me remember this place???).

Happy fall/pretzel time!

I just had the best pretzel on the east coast and was thinking I needed a recipe to make my own and you have provided me with one! So perfect. These look absolutely delicious and I also really love the background of the photos. You are a wonderful food photographer!

You always give me one more thing that I never thought I could make at home. I love pretzels so this could be dangerous to know how to make!

Oh I love pretzels! I've never tried making them, but it looks a lot easier than I thought! I know I'll have to add a little sea salt though - it may not be the best choice, but I've gotsta have some salt with my pretzels!

Love this healthy version of pretzels. Plus baking them at home is so much fun and, also, they're sooo good!
