Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into small pieces and wrap each piece around a cube of mozzarella cheese.
In a large pot, bring water and baking soda to a boil. Gently drop the bites into the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
