Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Fill a 3–4 quart saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Open the tube of 8 Grands biscuits. Using a knife, cut each biscuit into 4 pieces (32 pieces total).
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add 1/4 cup baking soda to the water (the water will bubble up).
- Working in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan, gently place several biscuit quarters into the boiling water. Boil each batch about 30 seconds, turning the pieces halfway through.
- Use a slotted spoon to lift the boiled bites from the water and place them evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Repeat steps 5–6 until all biscuit pieces have been boiled and arranged on the sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 13–18 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown.
- Immediately brush the hot bites with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher or pretzel salt.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store cooled pretzel bites in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
Notes
Nobody wants a hard, dry pretzel. Well, pretzel sticks being the exception. To keep your pretzel bites fresh, wrap them in plastic wrap and store the wrapped pieces in aluminum foil. You can keep them on the countertop for about a day, or freeze them for up to 30 days.
If frozen, allow the pretzel bites to fully thaw before reheating. Then, bake in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can throw them in the microwave covered by a damp paper towel and heat them for about 20 seconds.
Soft pretzels will stay fresh at room temp for just one day. If you need to store them for any longer than that, opt for the freezer. Frozen pretzels will stay fresh for about a month.
