More About This Recipe

I love making pretzels, but sometimes it can be a lot of effort. Kneading, and rising, and kneading, and rising, and boiling and baking. I set out this past weekend to try and find a pretzel dough shortcut. While these sausage pretzel bites weren't a perfect pretzel, they came very close with much less work. My friends and I devoured these while hanging out on a Sunday afternoon. Compared to a normal soft pretzel, these were not as dense and slightly more greasy, but they still were quite delicious.
Whether it's movie night, snack time, or game day, these pretzel recipes are great for any occasion.
