Frugalicious! Cinnamon & Sugar Pretzel Bites

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!
