In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 1/4 cups warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy
In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size
In a non-aluminum pan, heat 4 cups hot water and baking soda over medium heat. Keep warm (do not boil)
Once dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch rope, then cut into 1-2 inch bite-sized pieces
Dip each pretzel bite into the warm baking soda water for 30 seconds, turning halfway. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a greased baking sheet
Sprinkle with kosher salt and bake at 475°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown
Serve with your favorite dips like mustard, cheese sauce, or ranch. Enjoy the perfect pretzel bites for game day!
