Why did you dip your pretzel dough into baking soda and water?

Dipping the pretzel bites dough in the baking soda bath helps them to develop the golden brown, crispy crust on the outside and keeps them soft and chewy on the inside.

How do you keep soft pretzel bites warm?

For pretzel bites with biscuit dough, there are a couple of options to keep them warm but my favorite is to keep them in a slow cooker or crockpot. Wrap them up in aluminum foil, place them in the slow cooker and turn it on warm. You can also turn your oven on warm (or 170°F), spray lightly with water, wrap them in aluminum foil tightly and keep them warm in the oven.

How to reheat soft pretzel bites?

For pretzel bites (that have not been frozen), you can drizzle or spray your pretzel bites with water, wrap them tightly in foil and heat them in the oven (preheated to 325°F) for 5 minutes. to 325 degrees. You can also reheat them in the microwave but this may change the texture of them.

Notes

If dipping in boiling water scares you, you can dip in warm water instead and get very similar results with these homemade pretzels.
Instead of parchment paper, you can spray your baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking. I just prefer the easy cleanup of parchment and I feel like these easy pretzel bites are a little crispier this way.
