Pretzel Bratwurst Bites

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• 0.33 cups baking soda
• 1 package refrigerated pizza dough , 13.8 ounce
• 12 linkss smoked bratwurst
• 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with foil.

2. 2

   Stir together water and baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Cut dough into twelve 1-inch strips. Wrap each strip tightly around a bratwurst in a spiral, pinching edges to seal and leaving about 1/2 inch of bratwurst peeking out of each end.

4. 4

   Add 3 wrapped bratwurst at a time to the boiling water. Boil for about 30 seconds. Transfer bratwurst to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining wrapped bratwurst.

5. 5

   Bake bratwursts until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cut each bratwurst crosswise into thirds. Serve with mustard.
