- 10 cups water
- 2/3 cup baking soda
For brushing:

Instructions
- Prepare the dough:

- Punch down the dough and divide it into smaller pieces, rolling them into long ropes, then cutting the ropes into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil the dough:
- Drop the pretzel bites in batches into the boiling water for 30 seconds each, then remove with a slotted spoon.
