Ingredients
Scale
Soft Pretzel Bites
- 1 can Pillsbury Biscuit Dough
- 1/4 cup Baking Soda
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Water
- Coarse Salt, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Shape the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough and roll each biscuit into a small rope. Cut each rope into 4 equal pieces to form the pretzel bites.
- Boil in Baking Soda Bath: Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully stir in the baking soda until dissolved. Working in small batches, drop the dough pieces into the boiling baking soda water and boil for 15 seconds on each side. This step creates the classic pretzel crust.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Using a slotted spoon, remove the boiled dough bites from the water and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Egg Wash and Salt: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over each dough bite, then immediately sprinkle with coarse salt to add flavor and texture.
- Bake the Pretzel Bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the pretzel bites are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- For an extra twist, you can toss the pretzel bites in cinnamon sugar after baking for a sweet version.
- Ensure you boil the bites briefly in baking soda water to achieve the signature chewy crust.
- Serve warm with mustard, cheese sauce, or your favorite dip.
- Leftover pretzel bites can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispness.
