There is just something about a bite-size snack that makes me feel good on the inside. Of course, we live in a world of options but if you are looking for something delicious, easy to make and a lot of fun to eat, you can’t do any better than a warm pretzel bite.
Many of us would order these at a restaurant if we saw them on the menu but we may not have ever considered making them at home. The fact the matter is, however, they are dropdead simple to make and so delicious, you might just need to sneak off to eat them by yourself.
Ingredients:
12 balls of frozen dinner roll dough
1/2 cup baking soda
1 large egg, beaten
coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
1. Thaw dough at room temperature on a floured surface and cover the rolls with plastic wrap so they won’t dry out.
2. Preheat the oven to 425F.
3. Pat the dough circles gently into a square and then cut with scissors or a knife into five 1 1/2 inch pieces. Place them back on the floured surface so they don’t stick and lose their shape. Let them rest and poof up slightly again while you bring the water to a boil.
4. Stir the baking soda with 9 cups water in a large pot and bring to a roiling boil.
5. Spray a parchment or foil-lined half-sheet pan with non-stick spray.
6. Boil 10-15 bites at a time for a minute, remove from the pot with a slotted spoon on to the sprayed baking sheet and boil the rest of the pretzel bites.
7. Arrange the pretzels bites on the sheet so they are not touching each other. Brush them with the beaten egg.
8. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
9. Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
