Ingredients
- 1 link bratwurst, cooked, you may need part of second link depending on size
- 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 8 cups water
- ⅓ cup baking soda
- 1 egg
- coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Slice the bratwurst into 24 1/2-inch cubes. You may need a little more one link depending on the cooked size.
- Divide the pizza dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log, then cut each log into 6 equal portions. Wrap one portion of dough around a piece of bratwurst and pinch the edges shut. Set aside on a parchment lined sheet pan to rest on the counter.
- Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large, high-sided pot. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Once the pot of water is boiling, add the baking soda (it will foam, then subside) and stir to dissolve. Working in batches, boil the pretzel bites for 20 seconds. Remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and return them to the sheet pan. If any of split at the seam, just place them seam side down.
- With a fork, whisk the egg with 1-1/2 tablespoons of water and brush over the top of each pretzel bite. Sprinkle with salt, then bake for 15 to 18 minutes until they are deep brown.
