**Ingredients:**

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup baking soda
– 1 egg, beaten
– 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
– 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

**Instructions:**

2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Sprinkle the chopped ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dough.
4. Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly to form a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch wide.
5. In a large pot, bring about 6 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the baking soda to the boiling water (be cautious as it might bubble up).
6. Drop the pretzel bites into the boiling water, a few at a time, and let them cook for about 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bite.
7. Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and flaky sea salt.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the pretzel bites are golden brown and puffed up.
