  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet Lined with parchment paper

  • 1 Pastry brush For the egg wash

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly dust a work surface with flour, then roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch log and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Bring the water and baking soda to a simmer in a large pot.
  4. Drop the dough pieces into the simmering water in batches for 20 to 30 seconds, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water, then brush the tops of the pretzel bites with the egg wash.
  6. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until deep golden brown.
  7. Toss the warm pretzel bites with Popcorn Infused Olive Oil Blend in a large bowl.
  8. Add the Parmesan, kosher salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley, then toss again until evenly coated.
  9. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For the best coating, season the pretzel bites while they are still warm from the oven. If you want a little more bite, add an extra pinch of black pepper. The baking soda bath gives the dough that classic pretzel surface and a deeper golden color.
