In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon yeast; let sit until frothy for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.

Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each into a ball, shaping them into bites.

Boil the bites in batches for 30 seconds, then remove and drain on a towel.

Brush each bite with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Place the bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

Let cool slightly before serving with mustard and cheese.
