PIZZA-FILLED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, mix Filling ingredients; set aside. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Unroll dough onto lightly floured surface; roll into 14x12-inch rectangle. Using pizza cutter, cut dough lengthwise into 4 strips.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto long edge of each dough strip. Stretch dough over filling; brush edges with water, and pinch to seal. Pick up ends of filled dough, and stretch to make 24-inch rope.
• To make pretzel shape, form each rope into U shape. Twist ends twice. Press down where dough overlaps in an "X" to hold shape. Pick up ends and fold over so they rest over bottom of U shape.
• In medium microwavable bowl, microwave 2 cups water uncovered on High about 2 minutes or until hot. Add baking soda; stir until dissolved. Dip each pretzel, 1 at a time, into water mixture. Immediately remove from water with large pancake turner; let stand about 5 minutes. In small bowl, beat egg and 1 tablespoon water with whisk; brush pretzels with egg mixture.

CHEESE-STUFFED PIZZA PRETZELS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Unroll the dough, it should form 15x9-inch (38x22 cm) rectangle, then cut the rectangle horizontally into three equal strips. (These will be your three pretzels.)
• Carefully stretch each of the strips by width and length - stretch each to about 3 inch (7 ½ cm) width and about 34 inch (86 cm) length.
• Sprinkle 1 cup (100g) of cheese down the center of each dough strip. Reserve the last 1 cup (100g) of cheese for later.
• Fold the dough over the cheese, pressing to seal and rolling slightly to create 3 dough logs filled with cheese.
• Cover a baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable oil.
• To form the pretzels, take one dough log, move it to the foil covered baking sheet, then form a circle with the ends of the log at the top of the circle. Twist the log ends around each other once and bring them down to meet the bottom of the circle. Repeat with the other two dough logs.
• Wrap pepperonis on the pretzels - 5-ish per pretzel - then sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese among the three pretzels.
• Bake 14-18 minutes until deep golden brown.
• Serve immediately with pizza sauce for dipping.
• Enjoy!

SOFT PIZZA PRETZELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
• Cut the pizza dough widthwise into 8 strips. Using your palms, roll each strip against the counter to create an even log about 18 inches long. Fold the log into the shape of a pretzel, twisting the ends together at the center. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda with 2 cups warm water. Using a slotted spatula, lower a pretzel into the baking soda solution and lift out, allowing any excess to drip off. Slide the pretzel onto the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
• In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, oregano, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously over the pretzels.
• Bake the pretzels until deeply golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Garnish with additional Parmesan and serve warm with marinara sauce for dunking.

PIZZA DOUGH PRETZELS

Steps:

• Lightly flour a work surface. Place dough on flour and sprinkle more on top. Begin to knead dough, kneading about 2 tablespoons flour into dough until it is soft and supple but not too sticky, 5 to 10 minutes. Cover with a large bowl and allow dough to rest and come to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.
• Place water in a deep skillet. Whisk in baking soda to create an alkaline bath. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to keep water at a low simmer while you shape the dough.
• Dust dough with a sprinkling of flour as needed so that dough does not stick to work surface. Flatten slightly and divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round dough ball.
• Shape each dough ball into a disk, thinner in the middle, thicker around the edges. Poke a hole in the center. Gently keep pulling and stretching until you've achieved a round pretzel shape that's not too thick.
• Transfer pretzels (in batches if necessary) to simmering alkaline bath. Boil about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to prepared sheet with slotted spoon. Immediately sprinkle with coarse salt while pretzels are still wet and sticky. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before baking.
• Place on center rack in preheated oven until beautifully browned, and stretch marks have formed, about 20 minutes. Exact times will depend on the specific size and shape of your pretzel.
• Transfer to a rack to cool a bit.

PIMIENTO CHEESE STUFFED SOFT PRETZELS

Steps:

• For the pimiento cheese: To the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the cheese, mayonnaise, pimientos, relish, onion powder, a pinch of salt, pepper and a few dashes hot sauce, if using. Blend until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside or cover and hold in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• For the pretzels: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into an approximate 14-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut lengthwise into 2 1/2- to 3-inch strips. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the pimiento cheese down the center of each strip. Brush the strips on both sides of the pimiento cheese with the egg wash. Bring the sides of each strip up around the spread and crimp it closed using the tines of a fork. Tie each strip into a pretzel-shaped knot and place them on a baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator until ready to boil.
• Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Very slowly add the baking soda and stir until dissolved. Using a spider or slotted spoon, dip each pretzel in the boiling mixture for about 30 seconds each, then place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the pretzels are dipped, brush them with the beaten egg and sprinkle them with salt.
• Bake until the pretzels are a deep golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with spicy mustard.

PIZZA PRETZELS

Steps:

• Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece into a rope, 18-24" long.
• If you must use flour, use sparingly.
• Form each rope into a pretzel, pressing the ends of the rope into the dough so it doesn't untwist.
• Place on sprayed or greased baking sheet, leaving space around each pretzel.
• Cover and let rise until almost double, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400*.
• Gently spread about 1 tbl of pizza sauce onto each pretzel, allowing some of the sauce down into the holes which have probably mostly closed up.
• Sprinkle with oregano if desired.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottoms are a darker golden.
• Immediately place a slice of provolone onto each pretzel.
• At this point, I allow them to cool, pack each one in a baggie and then refrigerate or freeze.
• From the fridge, you'll probably need about 1 minute in the microwave; from the freezer, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• To enjoy right away: turn oven off and place pan back in until cheese starts to melt.

PRETZEL CRUST PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat 3 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Place warm water into a measuring cup and stir in sugar to dissolve. Stir in yeast and set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Place flour, olive oil, and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine. Mix in yeast mixture and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into an 8-inch disc and place on the prepared baking sheets. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• Heat at least 3 inches of water in a wide, deep pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Add baking soda slowly and carefully into the water, as this will foam and rise. Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 dough disc to the pot; cook for 30 to 40 seconds. Remove disc using 2 spatulas or slotted spoons and transfer back to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining discs. Gently blot discs with paper towels to remove any excess water. Brush lightly with butter and sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Bake crusts in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven; add pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese to each crust.
• Return pizzas to the oven and bake until cheese has melted and is golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
