Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Pizza dough
- 1/4 cup Baking soda
- 1 tsp Coarse salt
- 2 tbsp Spicy mustard
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Divide the pizza dough into 24 walnut-size pieces and roll each quickly into a ball between your palms.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in the baking soda carefully — it will fizz up, so add it slowly.
- Lower the dough bites in batches of 6 with a slotted spoon and boil 30 seconds per batch, flipping once; they should look slightly puffy and feel tacky.
- Lift each bite out with the slotted spoon, let it drip a moment, and set it on the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with the coarse salt while the bites are still damp so the crystals stick.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes until deeply golden brown with a chewy, glossy crust.
- Serve warm with the spicy mustard for dipping; they're best within a few hours of baking.
