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

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Separate biscuits and roll each into a small rope. Cut into 4 equal pieces.

Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, carefully stir in 1/4 cup baking soda.

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.

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.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.

Cut the Biscuits Small for the Perfect Bite Size – Smaller pieces bake evenly and give you that classic pretzel bite poppable feel.

Serve Warm for the Best Texture – Biscuit based pretzel bites are softest and fluffiest right out of the oven.

Pair with Dips to Elevate the Snack – Cheese sauce, honey mustard, ranch, or even warm marinara make them feel like a full appetizer.

Don’t Over Bake – Biscuit dough dries quickly – pull them as soon as the tops turn golden.

Add Butter for Extra Flavor – A quick brush of melted butter after baking makes them taste like mall style pretzels.
