Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the pizza dough into 14 evenly sized pieces. Working one at a time, stretch out a piece of dough into a long strip, about 8 inches (20 centimeters) long.
- Place a piece of cheese at the top, followed by a meatball, and roll up the cheese and meatball in the dough. Rotate halfway through rolling to ensure you are completely encasing the cheese and meet in the dough. Pull tightly and use any remaining slack to cover any possible gaps/holes. Press the dough into itself to seal and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, cheese, and meatballs.
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring the 5 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the baking soda and stir to dissolve. Return the pot to a boil.
- In batches (about 3-5 at a time), add the rolled dough balls to the pot and boil for 20-30 seconds, stirring gently. Remove and dab on paper towels before placing back on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
- Brush each boiled ball with beaten egg, then sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the outsides have browned. Serve warm with mustard, if desired.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar over 1/2 cup of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
- Add milk, shortening, eggs, oil, 3 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Mix in remaining 3 cups of flour by hand, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Uncover the dough and punch it down.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pull off baseball size portions of dough and roll into "snakes" about 6 inches long. Roll each "snake" into a spiral to give the tops some texture. Set each formed bun aside.
- Mix the baking soda and 4 cups hot water in a bowl. The baking soda does not need to dissolve completely. Dip each bun in the baking soda solution before placing on a baking sheet. Brush each bun with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven until brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack or brown paper bag.

Tips for Making Cheeseburger Pretzel Bombs:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cheeseburger pretzel bombs will taste. Use high-quality ground beef, sharp cheddar cheese, and fresh vegetables.
- Season the ground beef well. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to give the cheeseburger pretzel bombs flavor.
- Cook the ground beef thoroughly. Make sure that the ground beef is cooked all the way through before assembling the cheeseburger pretzel bombs. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the pretzel dough. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
- Be careful not to overstuff the pretzel dough. If the dough is too stuffed, it will be difficult to seal and the cheeseburger pretzel bombs will fall apart.
- Bake the cheeseburger pretzel bombs until they are golden brown. This will give them a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior.
- Serve the cheeseburger pretzel bombs immediately. They are best when served hot and fresh.
