Giant Spinach Dip Stuffed Pretzel Food

GIANT PRETZEL

Steps:

• Let 2 pounds of pizza dough come to room temperature (this might take up to 2 hours). Roll and stretch into a 5-foot rope, then form into a U shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet, letting the ends hang over the side. Lift the ends and twist them twice, then press the ends down to make a pretzel shape. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 450 degrees F until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then split in half and fill with pub cheese.

GIANT COOKIE DOUGH-STUFFED PRETZEL

Steps:

• For the cookie dough and pretzel: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Beat the brown sugar, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the speed to low, add the flour and beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the milk, increase the speed to medium and beat until creamy, about 30 seconds. Stir in the chocolate chips; set aside.
• Unroll the sheets of pizza dough and stack them. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 36-by-5-inch plank. Spread the cookie dough in an even line lengthwise down the center of the dough and brush one of the long sides with the egg. Fold the dough in half lengthwise. Pinch the edges together in the center to seal in the filling. Use your hands to roll and stretch the dough into a 5-foot rope. Form the rope into a giant pretzel shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is almost completely cooked through and golden brown all over, about 35 minutes.
• For the topping: Dissolve the baking soda in 1/4 cup hot water. Remove the pretzel from the oven and brush all over with the soda water, then brush with a thin coating of egg wash and sprinkle with the pearl sugar. Return to the oven and continue baking until dark golden brown and crisp, about 8 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before serving warm.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP STUFFED PRETZELS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• PRETZELS: Proof yeast with brown sugar and warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
• Add flour and melted butter; mix until combined. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Remove the dough ball, oil the bowl with vegetable oil, and return the dough to the bowl. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
• FILLING: Combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, feta, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and parsley in a bowl until smooth.
• Add spinach, artichokes, and salt and pepper to taste.
• TO ASSEMBLE: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Bring about 10 cups (2.4 L) of water to a boil with 2⁄3 cups (85 G) baking soda.
• In the meantime, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, and then flatten each rope into a rectangle. Spoon a little under 2 tbsp of the spinach filling along the length of each piece. Roll the dough over the filling and pinch the seams together, forming a log.
• Fold into a pretzel shape: make a U-shape with each rope, cross the ends once or twice, and bring the ends down, sealing against the bottom of the U-shape.
• Place each pretzel onto the lined baking sheet.
• Use a large slotted spoon to gently place each pretzel into the boiling baking soda bath, one at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds each, flipping halfway.
• Remove them with the slotted spoon and replace them onto the sheet pan.
• Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 tbsp water. Brush the top of each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for about 15 minutes until dark golden brown.
• Serve and enjoy!
