Under $10 Pretzel Bites

If you’re like me there’s nothing better than that 10:00 p.m. snack. So every Saturday until the end of August I’m going to be doing a summer snack series! Find us on our Facebook page, for a bearded baker swag bag giveaway! This affordable snack is mouthwatering, whether you use it for a snack or an appetizer when entertaining it’s so easy anyone can do it!

Okay so since I’ve done nothing but ramble let’s dive right in!

Let’s Get Cookin!

The Ingredients

  • 1 Can of Pizza Dough
  • 6 Cups of Water
  • 1/3 Cup Baking Soda

Prep Time

  1. First things first, preheat that oven to 425°F
  2. Put 6 cups of water on the stove to boil
  3. Layout your pizza dough and long ways cut into 4 equal strips
  4. Roll each strip into ropes
  5. Cut ropes into 1 inch bites

Turn Up The Heat

You’re going to need 2 cookie sheets one lined with paper towels, the other greased or lined with parchment paper.

Now that we have prep done let’s make some snacks!!

  3. Using a slotted spoon remove the dough bites and place them on your paper towel lined cookie sheet
  4. Repeat steps 2&3 for the remainder of the dough
  5. Gently by hand transfer dough bites to the greased or lined cookie sheet
