Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces and softened)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup chopped green olives (no pimentos)
  • ⅔ cup milk
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Add the flour to a medium bowl, then cut the butter pieces into the flour (I just used a fork to smush it in)
  • Add the sugar, baking powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese and mix.
  • Add the chopped olives and mix.
  • Add the milk, a little at a time, and combine until it forms a dough. Don't worry if you don't quite use all the milk.
  • Pull out a chunk of the dough, form it into a long snake
  • Place the pieces on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • Cut into bite sized pieces
  • Repeat until all the dough has been rolled and cut.
  • Brush the pretzel bites with the beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle with course salt.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  • Serve warm for best results, with mustard for dipping.
