Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) baking soda
- 1 egg
Wash and Seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Coarse salt
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425°F (220°C) and carefully arrange parchment paper on a clean baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Gently stretch and elongate each refrigerated biscuit dough into slender, uniform ropes approximately 6 inches long.
- Methodically slice each rope into four equal bite-sized segments, creating compact, bite-friendly portions.
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a rolling boil, then gradually incorporate baking soda, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Carefully submerge the dough segments into the bubbling water, allowing each piece to bathe for precisely 15 seconds on each side to develop a distinctive pretzel exterior.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the water-bathed dough pieces onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Whisk one large egg thoroughly and delicately brush the surface of each dough bite, creating a glossy sheen.
- Generously sprinkle coarse kosher salt across the egg-washed dough, ensuring even distribution for maximum flavor.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown coloration that signals perfect doneness.
Notes
- Coarse salt adds a delightful crunch and brings out the pretzel’s authentic bakery flavor.
- Egg wash creates a beautiful golden sheen and helps salt stick perfectly to the surface.
- Boiling dough in baking soda water gives these bites their signature soft, chewy pretzel texture.
- Cutting biscuit dough into small pieces ensures uniform cooking and bite-sized convenience.
- Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup super quick and easy.
