Why this Recipe Works:

• Biscuit Dough Creates Instant Softness – The dough stays fluffy and tender inside, giving you that perfect soft pretzel bite without any yeast or rising time.
• The Baking Soda Bath Adds Real Pretzel Texture – A quick dip gives each bite a chewy exterior and deep golden color, just like classic pretzels.
• Egg Wash Makes the Bites Shiny and Bakery Style – It helps the tops brown beautifully and gives that signature pretzel sheen.
• Fast, Foolproof & Beginner Friendly – No kneading, no waiting – just cut, dip, bake, and enjoy warm Pretzel Bites in minutes.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1 can Pillsbury Biscuit Dough – This is the shortcut base that makes the pretzel bites soft, fluffy, and perfectly chewy without any yeast or rising time.
• 1/4 cup Baking Soda – Used for the classic pretzel ‘bath.’ It helps create that deep golden color and slightly crisp exterior you expect from real pretzels.
• 1 Egg – Whisked into an egg wash to give the pretzel bites a shiny, bakery style finish.
• 1 tbsp Water – Mixed with the egg to thin the wash so it brushed on smoothly.
• Coarse Salt – Sprinkled on top for that essential pretzel crunch and salty bite.

How to Make Soft Pretzel Bites with Biscuit Dough

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate biscuits and roll each into a small rope. Cut into 4 equal pieces.
3. Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully stir in 1/4 cup baking soda.
4. Working in small batches, drop dough balls into baking soda bath and boil for 15 seconds on each side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer dough balls to baking sheet.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush egg wash over each dough ball and immediately sprinkle with coarse salt.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
