Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut pizza dough into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. You should have roughly 24 pieces.
Step 3
Bring water and baking soda to a boil in a medium pot. The mixture will foam slightly.
Step 4
Working in batches, gently drop dough pieces into boiling water for 30 seconds each. They should sink, then float back up.
Step 5
Transfer boiled bites to the prepared baking sheet with a slotted spoon.
Step 6
Brush each bite lightly with melted butter and sprinkle coarse salt over the top.
Step 7
Bake for 12–14 minutes until the tops are deep golden brown.
Step 8
While bites bake, place shredded cheese in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second pulses, stirring between each, until melted and creamy.
Step 9
Remove bites from oven and let cool 2 minutes. Serve warm with melted cheese dip for dunking.
