Ingredients
  

1 can (11 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (optional)

1 cup water

2 tablespoons baking soda

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a clean, floured surface. Cut it into small, equal squares (about 1-inch each) to form your pretzel bites.

      Prepare the Baking Soda Bath: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, slowly whisk in the baking soda (it will bubble up, so be cautious!) and remove from heat.

        Boil the Pretzel Bites: Carefully drop the pizza dough squares, in batches, into the boiling baking soda bath for about 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

          Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with melted butter.

            Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle generously over the pretzel bites, and add a pinch of coarse sea salt on top if desired.

              Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with a little more melted butter if desired and enjoy warm!
