Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 pounds pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, at room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup baking soda
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Working on a lightly floured surface, cut dough into 4 equal strips. Roll each strip into a long rope, about 12-14 inches; cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Heat 6 cups water and baking soda in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; working in batches, drop dough pieces until slightly puffed and dimpled, about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well.
  • Place dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2-inch apart. Brush with egg.
  • Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 9-12 minutes.
  • Working in batches, combine warm pretzel bites, butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  • Serve warm.
