GIANT MULTI-STUFFED SOFT PRETZEL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the water and sugar. Add the yeast and let rest for 5 minutes, until it starts to foam.
• Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil, and mix thoroughly until the dough comes together.
• Remove the dough, grease the bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then return the dough to the bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using your fingers or a rolling pin, stretch or roll the dough out into a long, thin strip, about 30 inches (76 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide.
• Spread the softened cream cheese down the middle of the dough strip, leaving a 1-inch (2 cm) border on each end.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan, chives, and black pepper over the first third of the cream cheese on the dough strip.
• Spread the pizza sauce over the middle third of cream cheese. Place the mozzarella and pepperoni over the sauce.
• Sprinkle the bacon and cheddar cheese over the cream cheese on the last third of the dough strip.
• Fold and pinch the dough around the cheese fillings along the entire strip, ensuring the ends are closed. Roll slightly to seal and lengthen.
• Carefully form a pretzel shape by taking the ends of the strip, making a "U" shape, twisting the ends around each other, and connecting the ends to the bottom of the "U" shape.
• Transfer the pretzel to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then brush with melted butter before serving.
• Enjoy!
