Add warm water and instant yeast to kitchen stand mixer. Stir gently and let rest 15 minutes to activate. Add in 1 Tbsp honey, butter and 1 cup of bread flour and mix using bread hook to create sludge. Gradually add remaining bread flour until it gently pulls away from the sides of the kitchen stand. Knead for 5 minutes, than transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a towel and let rest for 90 minutes.
Press dough to deflate, than transfer to a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 equally sized sections. Roll each section into a two foot long rope. Cut into 2 inch long sections. Cover with a damn towel while moving on to the next step.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a Tbsp of honey. Add in pretzel bites in batches and boil for 30 seconds. Remove to a baking dish lined with paper towel. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°.
