These pretzel bites are incredibly yummy, but best of all they're frugal and EASY to make. They taste a little bit like donut balls or monkey bread, but the boiling makes them chewy like a pretzel. Here's how to make them home:
You'll Need:
- One loaf Rhodes frozen Bread Dough (one loaf costs about a dollar)
- Butter
- Cinnamon and Sugar
Start by tearing off or cutting pieces of the bread dough and rolling into 1′ balls (I just cut mine with a knife). Place on a greased cookie sheet and let the dough rise until doubled in size. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Next, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and toss in about a dozen dough balls until they rise and puff up (about 45 seconds). Remove and drain on a layer of paper toweling. Don't worry if they look funny, they'll puff up in the oven.
Place pretzel bites on a greased cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly, then brush with butter. Roll in cinnamon and sugar and enjoy!
These look great! What temperature should they be baked at?
375 degrees.
Will any bread dough work?
I’m guessing so, as long as it’s a yeast-based dough for the rising factor.
I’m a dummy… I must have missed the temperature in the posting! Thanks again for the recipe!
I was going to try and make these today. But, I went to Winn- Dixie and Wal-Mart and could not find the dough. I looked in the frozen bread section. Which stores carry this dough? Could I be looking in the wrong spot? Thank you for sharing!!! They look delicious! :o)
Hi Amy – I’m wondering if Rhodes is a regional thing. If so, you could definitely substitute with any type of bread dough.
