Activate Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Dough: Once your yeast is activated, add 1 cup of sourdough discard, 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for achieving a perfect golden-brown crust.

Shape Bites: After rising, punch the dough down, divide into portions, roll into ropes, and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Boil Bites: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, stir in ¼ cup of baking soda, and boil each bite for about 30 seconds.

Bake: Sprinkle boiled bites with coarse sea salt, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Cool & Serve: Let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dips.
