Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen pizza dough at room temperature
- ½ cup baking soda
- 4 cups water plus 1 teaspoon water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp pretzel salt, Kosher salt or sea salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 4 cups water and baking soda. Heat on low, stirring until baking soda dissolves. Keep on low while preparing dough.
- While water is heating, portion dough into 4 sections. Roll each section into ropes about 1 ½ inches in diameter, then cut into 1 inch pieces. If your dough is sticky, you may need to add some flour.
- Preheat air fryer to 390°F with a 5 minute cook time.
- Drop several pieces of dough into the warm water and remove all with slotted spoon after 10 seconds. Set on a plate or piece of parchment paper, making sure to leave room in between the pieces. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
- Make an egg wash by beating egg and 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Note: the egg wash will work without the water, but your pretzel bites will be darker in color.
- Brush tops of dough pieces with egg wash.
- Grease the air fryer basket with oil spray. Place the dough in the basket with some space in between. Sprinkle with salt. Air fry for 5 minutes.
- Continue with remaining dough in batches. Serve plain, with cheese sauce or mustard.
