These pretzel bites made with biscuit dough taste like authentic pretzels but are better because they’re softer and a little flaky!

Not only are these Biscuit Pretzel Bites insanely delicious, but they are also so easy to make! You’ll only need five simple ingredients: Pillsbury Grands Flaky Biscuits, some water, baking soda, melted butter, and coarse salt.
If you are like me, I was skeptical that biscuit dough could taste anywhere near a pretzel, but that is why the bites of dough are soaked in hot water with baking soda for around a minute. Trust me, you’ll be amazed!
This original recipe is from the Vita Ice website, with a few modifications. I served my bites with my 3-ingredient honey mustard sauce, which was AMAZING. Of course, they taste great plain, too!
Biscuit Pretzel Bites

Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 Can of Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layer Biscuits (includes eight biscuits)
- 2 Cups of Hot Water
- 1/4 Cup Baking Soda
- 3 tbsp Butter, melted.
Equipment Needed:
- Basting Brush (optional but is great for adding the melted butter on top of the bite)
- Slotted Spoon (optional but helps to remove the dough bites from the hot water)
- Oven
How To Make Biscuit Pretzel Bites, Step-By-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: Remove the biscuits from the can. Using a sharp knife, cut each biscuit into four pieces. Roll each piece gently into a ball and score (a shallow crisscross cut) the top of each bite.


Step 3: Fill a bowl with 2 cups of hot water and add the baking soda. Mix well.
Step 4: Add half of the batch of pretzel bites to the hot water for about one minute. Remove using a slotted spoon (this helps to drain off the water). Place the bites of dough onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining half of the batch. You should have 32 bites.

Step 5: Brush melted butter onto each bite. Lastly, sprinkle the coarse salt onto each one.

Step 6: Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
*Serve immediately with my Insane 3-Ingredient Honey Mustard Sauce or plain.*
