Add all the dough ingredients together and knead in a stand mixer on low for 3-5 minutes or by hand until the dough is soft and smooth.
Place the dough in a bowl to rise until doubled in size. At 80°F this took 4 hours.
Once the dough is ready, put the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the baking soda.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 sections.
Roll each piece of dough into a long rope by pressing your palms down and gently rolling back and forth to stretch it until it reaches 20-22 inches in length.
Cut the dough into 1 inch sections. Repeat with the other 2 sections.
Work in batches, adding the dough pieces to the boiling water for 10-20 seconds. Scoop out the dough balls and place in a colander.
Immediately sprinkle the dough balls with pretzel salt while the balls are still damp.
Place the pretzel bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
Melt butter and toss the pretzels in butter and add more salt if desired.
