Ingredients
1 quart water
¼ cup baking soda
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
pretzel salt
cooking spray
Directions
Place a large stock pot over high heat. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Meanwhile shape crescents into desired shape and preheat air fryer to 350°
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the air fryer basket with a fitted piece of parchment. Generously spray with cooking spray.
Once water is boiling, carefully add baking soda (it WILL bubble up!). Lower crescent rolls into the brine with a spider strainer; boil for 5 seconds. Transfer onto the parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle with salt.
Air fry until crescent rolls are cooked through and golden, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
Cook's Note:
Not all air fryers operate alike. If you're concerned with the pretzels burning, you CAN follow the same steps and oven bake for 18 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees C (175 degrees C) but it won't have the crispy texture that comes from the air fryer,
