Pizza-Filled Pretzels

 


Ingredients

Pizza Filling

  • 1/2
    cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (2 oz)
  • 1/2
    cup finely chopped pepperoni
  • 2
    tablespoons pizza sauce

Pretzels

  • 1
    can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust
  • 2
    cups water
  • 1/4
    cup baking soda
  • 1
    egg
  • 1
    tablespoon water
  • Coarse (kosher or sea) salt
  • Pizza sauce, as desired

  • Steps

1 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.

    2 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.

      3 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.

        4 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.

        5 Place pretzels on cookie sheet; sprinkle with salt. Bake 11 to 15 minutes or until tops of pretzels are dark golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce.
