Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
One 13.8-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Marinara sauce, for serving

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
3/4 pound pizza dough
1/2 cup baking soda
1 large egg
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the creamy mustard dip: Stir together the mustard, sour cream and honey. Season with salt. Transfer to a small serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a tray with paper towels.
  • Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Divide the pizza dough into four pieces and roll each piece into a rope about 3/4-inch in diameter. Cut each rope into approximately 1-inch long segments.
  • When the water comes to a boil, add the baking soda and stir to combine. Add half of the dough to the water and boil for about 45 seconds. Transfer the boiled dough to the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough. Lightly pat the dough with a paper towel to dab off some of the foamy water.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the egg with 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a small bowl.
  • Dip each dough bite into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each. Sprinkle the tops of the bites lightly with salt and bake until deep golden brown all over, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve warm with the creamy mustard dip.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons quick-rise yeast
2 ½ cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
⅓ cup baking soda
1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste
1 cup pizza sauce, or to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste

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.

Tips:

  • To create the perfect pretzel dough, ensure that the water is lukewarm, not hot, as this can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising properly.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This will develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the pretzels their chewy texture.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more flour a little at a time until it becomes manageable. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this can make the pretzels tough.
  • When shaping the pretzels, make sure to roll the dough into long, thin strands. This will help them to rise evenly in the oven.
  • Before baking, dip the pretzels in a baking soda solution. This will give them their characteristic golden brown color and chewy crust.
  • Serve the pretzels warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mustard, cheese sauce, or marinara sauce.

Conclusion:

These pizza dough pretzels are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and satisfying meal. With their soft, chewy texture and golden brown crust, these pretzels are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
