You can turn pizza dough into impressive sweet pretzel bites. Boiling the dough in baking soda water gives these a signature pretzel flavor and texture. Get the recipe for these buttery, cinnamon-sugar coated bites, plus air frying instructions.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups water + 2 tablespoons baking soda (for boiling)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
For dipping:
Steps
- 01Cut, boil in baking soda water (30 seconds), and drain per the base recipe.
- 02Brush the boiled bites with melted butter instead of topping with salt.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Immediately after cooking, toss in cinnamon sugar while still hot and buttery.
Same baking soda boil as the savory version because that's what makes them taste like pretzels, not bread. The butter goes on before cooking so it absorbs into the surface and creates a base for the cinnamon sugar to stick. The warm, just-cooked bites are tacky enough that the cinnamon sugar adheres perfectly.
