Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of self-rising flour with 3/4 cup of yogurt.

Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 cup of milk to the mixture.

If the dough looks dry, add more milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 3 to 5 minutes until it forms a nice firm ball.

Cut the dough into small logs, about six or seven pieces.

Boil 1/4 cup of baking soda in water and drop the dough pieces in for a brief bath until they rise to the top.

Remove the dough pieces from the boiling water and place them on a lined baking sheet.

Brush the pretzel bites with an egg wash for browning and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after tossing them in melted butter.

For the salted version, prepare a second batch using the air fryer, adding a little more oil to the dough.

Cut the second batch into logs and boil them, adding molasses to the water for sweetness.

Sprinkle the second batch with smoky salt before air frying them at a slightly higher temperature than 350°F for about 25 minutes.

Remove both batches from the oven and air fryer, and brush with melted butter before serving.
