Ingredients
  

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

1/3 cup baking soda

1 cup warm water

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)

Coarse sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

    Prepare the Baking Soda Solution: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the warm water. This will create your pretzel bath, which helps give the pretzels their iconic flavor and texture.

      Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, take the refrigerated pizza dough and roll it out into a rectangle. Cut it into strips, about 1-inch wide, and then cut those strips into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch squares).

        Dip in the Baking Soda Solution: Working in batches, gently drop the dough pieces into the baking soda solution for about 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

          Brush with Butter: Once all the pretzel bites have been bathed, brush the melted butter generously over each one.

            Mix Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt (if using). Sprinkle this mixture over the brushed pretzel bites for a delightful cinnamon-sugar crust.

              Bake the Pretzel Bites: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. For extra enjoyment, sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy your warm, chewy, and sweet pretzel bites!
