Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
• ¼ cup baking soda
• 1 egg, plus 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
• Coarse salt

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

2. Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuits from the can and roll each one into a small rope. Once you have your ropes, cut each one into 4 equal pieces to create the pretzel bites.

3. Boil the Dough

Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully stir in the baking soda. The baking soda bath is what gives pretzels their classic chewy texture and golden brown color.

Working in batches, drop the dough balls into the boiling water and boil each side for 15 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the dough balls from the water and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.

4. Add the Egg Wash and Salt

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over each dough ball, making sure to coat them evenly. Immediately sprinkle with coarse salt to give the pretzel bites their signature salty finish.

5. Bake the Pretzel Bites

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they bake; some may turn darker than others, which adds to their rustic charm.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the pretzel bites from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These pretzel bites are best enjoyed warm and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces like cheese dip, mustard, or even a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture.
