Pretzel Bites

Ingredients:

• pizza dough
• 1/3 c. baking soda
• 1 egg, beaten
• Coarse salt, for sprinkling
• Green onions, for sprinkling
• Grainy mustard, for serving

Directions:

• Bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Mix in the baking soda.
• In the meantime, roll cherry-sized pieces of pizza dough (approximately 1/2 oz. each) into balls. Drop the balls into the boiling water. Cook for one minute, or until the puffs are slightly inflated. Remove balls with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels; transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing 1/2" apart.
• Brush the dough with the egg, then sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until brown.
• Serve with green onions and grainy mustard on the side.
