Ingredients
- 500 g Dough homemade or store-bought pizza dough
- 500 ml Water for baking soda bath
- 30 g Baking soda for soda bath
- 30 g Pretzel salt for sprinkling

- Start by cutting the dough into evenly sized pieces and roll each piece into a ball or short rope.
- Prepare a baking soda bath by combining hot water and baking soda in a shallow dish.
- Dip each shaped dough piece into the baking soda bath for a moment before placing them on a parchment-lined tray.

- While still warm, brush the bites with melted butter and sprinkle with pretzel salt.
Notes
