Dipping Sauces

• cheese sauce

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 400° F.

  Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  In the meantime, take each biscuit and roll it out into a cylinder shape. Cut each cylinder-shaped biscuit into 6 equal pieces. Once the water boils, drop the biscuit pieces into the baking soda bath (only 8 to 10 at a time) for 15 to 20 seconds.

  Add 5 cups of water to a medium saucepan, sprinkle the baking soda, and bring the water to a rolling boil. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the puffed biscuit bites from the baking soda bath and transfer them to your prepared baking sheet.

  Repeat with all the remaining biscuit pieces. Sprinkle the tops with coarse salt and bake for 20-22 minutes or until deep golden brown.

  Serve immediately with your favorite cheese sauce or honey mustard for dipping. There you have it, my Soft Pretzel Bites.
  

Notes

1) An alternative to the soft pretzel bites is the harder-style pretzel bites. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are darker in color and have a much crunchier texture. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
