For a fun snack idea, turn store-bought grand biscuits into crunchy pretzels with this delicious pretzel bite recipe.
Let’s easily make homemade pretzels! 🥨
Did you know that canned biscuit dough can be used to make pretzel bites? yes! And let me just say these are very good. In fact, it’s kind of hard to stop eating. Not only do they look like pretzels, they also taste like pretzels.
The secret ingredient to making these taste like pretzels is to soak baking soda in boiling water for 30 seconds. When baked, it tastes like a chewy pretzel. I was a little skeptical after seeing this idea on Instagram, but I was so excited to try it out for myself.
This biscuit pretzel bite hack works beautifully.
We are very impressed with our results and encourage everyone to try it. The texture is chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. I added egg wash instead of salt to all of my bagel seasonings for a nice variation.

Turn small pieces of dough into pretzel bites using water and baking soda.
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
2
Open the biscuits and cut each into quarters.
3
Bring about 1 quart of water to a boil on the stove. Baking soda tends to foam, so add it slowly. Soak the biscuits in water for 15 seconds on each side, then transfer to a sheet pan. It is convenient to use a slotted spoon.
4
Use a kitchen brush to brush the egg wash over the biscuits. Sprinkle all the seasoning on the bagel.
5
Bake in the oven for 8-9 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Enjoy with dipping sauces such as mustard or cheese dip.

Tips for making biscuit pretzel bites:
Enjoy with cheese sauce. I dipped it in Trader Joe’s white queso dip and it was amazing. You can also try it with grain mustard. Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for several days. Consider reheating in the air fryer. Hmm! Did you know that you can also make donuts using biscuit dough? Here I will show you how to make it using a fryer.
My family was very impressed with these homemade pretzel bites.
It feels like having Auntie Anne at home. You can also add a little butter at the end and drizzle it on top. I find it very interesting that I no longer taste biscuits. This would be fun to make with kids, and I think they’ll love these easy pretzel bites too!
