Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
Cooking times, temperatures and quantities may vary depending on the style of air fryer.Stir together water and baking soda in a small bowl until dissolved; cool.
Unroll pizza crust dough; brush both sides of dough with baking soda mixture. Cut dough crosswise into 24 (1/4-in.-wide) strips. Cut each bratwurst into 4 equal pieces. Beginning at one end of each bratwurst piece, wrap 1 dough strip in a spiral fashion around the bratwurst piece in a single layer. Place on a tray; sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt.
Spray air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Working in batches, place wrapped bratwurst pieces in basket. Air-fry for 7 to 9 minutes or until dough is golden brown and bratwursts reach 165 degrees, turning halfway through. (Place cooked bratwurst bites on a wire rack in a rimmed baking pan and keep warm in a 200 degree oven while air-frying remaining bratwurst bites.) Cool slightly. Garnish with additional salt, if desired.
Stir together sauerkraut and Cheddar cheese dip in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Serve with bratwurst bites.
