- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt, for sprinkling
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Unroll the refrigerated pretzel dough and cut it into small pieces. Each piece should be large enough to wrap around a bite-sized piece of hot dog.

- Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with beaten egg and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pretzel dough is golden brown.
