Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper greased with cooking spray.
• Lightly flour your work surface then cut the dough into 1-inch pieces. (They do not need to be uniform in shape but should be roughly the same size.)
• In a large heavy-bottomed stock pot set over medium-high heat, whisk together the water and baking soda. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
• Working in batches, boil the pretzel bites for 1 minute, then using a slotted spoon, transfer them into a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.

• Bake the pretzel bites until they are dark golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

PIZZA PRETZEL BITES

Steps:

• 1. 1.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix together the water, sugar, yeast, and butter. Let sit for 5 minutes. 2.Add the salt and flour to the yeast mixture. Knead dough at medium speed until a smooth and elastic ball forms, 3 to 4 minutes. If dough is sticky, add 1 tablespoons of flour at a time until dough comes together. 3.Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 4.Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 21 inch rope. Cut the dough into 3-inch pieces to make the pretzel bites. 5.Roll each bite flat with a rolling pin. 6.Stuff with pepperoni and cheese. 7.Fold over the dough and pinch the ends. Place on a baking sheet and continue until all pretzel bites are stuffed. 8.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the baking soda and lower heat to a simmer. Carefully boil pretzels in batches. Boil for about 30 seconds. 9.Remove with a large slotted spoon. Place pretzel bites on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with the egg wash and season liberally with the salt. Place into the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. 10.Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
• 2. 1.Preheat a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, garlic, and onion and sauté until onions are clear.

SOFT PIZZA PRETZELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
• Cut the pizza dough widthwise into 8 strips. Using your palms, roll each strip against the counter to create an even log about 18 inches long. Fold the log into the shape of a pretzel, twisting the ends together at the center. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda with 2 cups warm water. Using a slotted spatula, lower a pretzel into the baking soda solution and lift out, allowing any excess to drip off. Slide the pretzel onto the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
• In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, oregano, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously over the pretzels.
• Bake the pretzels until deeply golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Garnish with additional Parmesan and serve warm with marinara sauce for dunking.

• Step 7: In a large pot, bring about 8-10 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add in baking soda.
• Step 8: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Seprate it into 32 equal parts.
• Step 9: Using your fingers, slightly flatten your dough and place about a tablespoon of filling in the centre. Wrap the filling, tightly pinching the ends together. Roll until you get a nice ball. Place each pretzel bite on your parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Step 10: Gently lower pretzel bites, five at a time, into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove pretzel bites with a slotted spoon and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheets. Repeat until all pretzel bites have been boiled.
• Step 11: In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with one tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each pretzel liberally with egg wash. Bake at 450˚F for approximately ten minutes. Swap the trays half way through baking to ensure even browning.
