Ingredients You Need to Make Our Twisted Soft Pretzel Bites Recipe:

• Nonstick cooking spray
• Flour
• Refrigerated pizza crust
• Water
• Baking soda
• Egg, slightly beaten
• Coarse kosher salt
• Queso dip

How To Make Our Twisted Soft Pretzel Bites Recipe:

Begin by preheating the oven to 450 degrees. 

Then spay a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray, this will keep the pretzel dough from sticking. 

Then unroll the refrigerated pizza crust onto a lightly flour dusted surface. 

After you have the dough unrolled, cut the dough into 3 inch by ½ inch strips. 

Then take a piece of dough and use your hands to roll it into a rope shape that is about 5 inches long. 

When the dough is long enough, use your hands to carefully tie the dough rope into a knot and then place it on the cookie sheet. 

Continue to do that with each piece of dough until you are done. 

Then in a large sauce pan, heat 5 cups of water mixed with the baking soda. Heat it all together until it comes to a boil. 

Now, carefully drop 6 of the dough knots into the boiling water. 

Let the knots cook for 30 seconds in the water or until the dough looks slightly puffed up and dimpled. 

Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the knots from the water and place them back on the cookie sheet about ½ inch apart. 

Then add in the remaining pretzel knots and do the same process. 

Once all the pretzels have been boiled, brush the tops of the twisted pretzel knots with the beaten egg and sprinkle on the coarse salt. 

Pop the cookie sheet in the oven and let the pretzels cook for 10-12 minutes or until they are nice and browned. 

After they are done, serve them with some warm queso and enjoy!

Why Do You Soak Pretzels in Baking Soda?

The reason to soak pretzels in baking soda has to do with the reaction the heat in the oven has on the pretzel while it bakes.
