Ingredients

1 (16 oz) ready to bake pizza dough
9 cups water
1/2 cup baking soda
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 tablespoon pretzel salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Remove the pizza dough from its packaging and press to a 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough using a sharp knife, or a pizza cutter, into 1-2″ pieces. Set aside while you prepare the baking soda bath.
Add 9 cups of water to a large pot. Stir in 1/2 cup of baking soda. Bring to a boil.
Carefully drop the dough pieces into the water and cook for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon, making sure to get off as much excess water as possible, and transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Cook the pretzel bites for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Brush the warm bread with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.

Notes

Try other toppings like grated parmesan or cinnamon and sugar!
