Ingredients

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 pounds pizza dough, store-bought or homemade, at room temperature
• 1/3 cup baking soda
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

3. Working on a lightly floured surface, cut dough into 4 equal strips. Roll each strip into a long rope, about 12-14 inches; cut into 1-inch pieces.

4. Heat 6 cups water and baking soda in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; working in batches, drop dough pieces until slightly puffed and dimpled, about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well.

5. Place dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2-inch apart. Brush with egg.

6. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 9-12 minutes.

7. Working in batches, combine warm pretzel bites, butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.

8. Serve warm.
