Ingredients

  • 1 quart water
  • 0.25 cup baking soda
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • pretzel salt
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. 1
    Place a large stock pot over high heat. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile shape crescents into desired shape and preheat air fryer to 350°.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Air fry until crescent rolls are cooked through and golden, about 12 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations:

  • 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 F (175 degrees C) but it won't have the crispy texture that comes from the air fryer.
