Simple and Easy Pretzel Bites

Here’s a super simple recipe for pretzel bites using grocery store biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands or similar).

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuits (8-count works well)

• 6 cups water

• 4 tbsp baking soda

• 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

• Coarse salt (pretzel salt or kosher salt)

Instructions

1. Prep the Dough

   • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   • Cut each biscuit into 4–6 pieces (depending on how big you want the bites). Roll into small balls.

2. Boil with Baking Soda

   • In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil.

   • Drop biscuit pieces in batches (about 10–12 at a time). Boil for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon.

3. Bake the Pretzels

   • Place boiled pieces on the prepared baking sheet.

   • Brush with beaten egg for a shiny crust.

   • Sprinkle with coarse salt.

4. Finish

   • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until deep golden brown.

   • Serve warm with mustard, cheese dip, or your favorite sauce.

👉 Optional: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar instead of salt for a sweet version.
