Air Fryer Cinnamon Pretzel Bites

🧂 Ingredients

• 16 ounces frozen pizza dough

  at room temperature
• ½ cup baking soda
• 4 cups water

  plus 1 teaspoon water
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup unsalted butter

  melted
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

• 1 Add water and baking soda to a small saucepan. Heat on low, stirring until the
  baking soda dissolves. Keep on low while preparing the dough. 
• 2 Separate the dough into 4 sections. Roll each section into ropes about 1 ½ inch
  in diameter, then cut into 1-inch pieces. 
• 3 Drop several pieces of dough into the baking soda bath at a time and remove with
  a slotted spoon after 10-15 seconds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or
  sheet of parchment paper.
• 4 Preheat your Air Fryer to 390° F. While the Air Fryer is heating. make an egg
  wash by beating an egg with 1 teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the egg
  wash onto the dough pieces.
• 5 Spray the airfryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and place the dough
  pieces into the basket with some space in between each. Air fry for 5-6 minutes
  at 390° F,  until lightly browned on top. Depending on the size of your air
  fryer you will likely have to cook them in a couple of batches.
• 6 While the pretzels are cooking, prepare your cinnamon-sugar mixture by stirring
  together sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
• 7 Transfer cooked pretzels to a sheet of parchment paper (for easy cleanup). Dip
  each bite in butter, shake off excess, and roll in cinnamon sugar.
• 8 Serve warm or at room temperature, plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
