Ingredients:
– 1 package of store-bought pizza dough
– 6 cups water (depending on size of saucepan)
– ½ cup baking soda
– ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
– ⅓ cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– Cream cheese icing (optional, for dipping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature to 375 degrees.

2. Roll out the pizza dough onto a clean surface. Cut the dough into small, bite-sized pieces using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.

3. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda (be careful, as it may cause the water to fizz).

4. Gently drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Let them boil for about 20 seconds, then remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

5. Brush the pretzel bites with the melted butter, ensuring they are fully coated.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for the time indicated on the pizza dough package or until the pretzel bites turn golden brown and crispy.

7. Once baked, remove the pretzel bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes

8. Melt a stick of unsalted butter in a bowl and coat the pretzel bites. Then, in a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pretzel bites, making sure they are evenly coated.

9. Serve warm and enjoy as is or with a side of cream cheese icing for dipping. These irresistible cinnamon sugar pretzel bites are the perfect sweet treat!

Note: Feel free to customize your pretzel bites by adding a sprinkle of coarse salt or even a drizzle of icing for extra flavor and indulgence.
