Pizza Dough Pretzel Bites Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Make the soft pretzel bites: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a cooling rack covered with paper towels.
• Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large stockpot. (It may seem like a small amount of water for a large pot, but once you add baking soda it'll foam up.)
• While the water comes to a boil, place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal pieces. Roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces.
• When the water is boiling, add the baking soda and sugar. Cook the dough pieces, in batches, for 30 seconds. Drain on the paper towels.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Dip the tops of the pretzels in the egg wash and sprinkle with salt. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake until the pretzel bites are nicely browned, 9 to 10 minutes.
• For the beer cheese: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beer until the mixture is smooth, then add the half-and-half. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and House Seasoning. Gradually add the cheese and stir until smooth. Season to taste. Serve the pretzel bites with the beer cheese.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Unroll pizza crust on a smooth floured surface. Take a rolling pin and roll out the dough until it is a 16 by 10 inch rectangle.
• Using a pizza cutter cut the dough into 10 1 inch sticks.
• Take one strip at a time and place on a cookie sheet.
• Form the strip into a U shape.
• Twist the ends once, then flip to the bottom of the U form a pretzel shape.
• Beat your egg to make an egg white.
• Brush each pretzel top with the eggwhite.
• Sprinkle your topings onto the pretzels.
• Place in the oven for approximately 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with foil.
• Stir together water and baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Cut dough into twelve 1-inch strips. Wrap each strip tightly around a bratwurst in a spiral, pinching edges to seal and leaving about 1/2 inch of bratwurst peeking out of each end.
• Add 3 wrapped bratwurst at a time to the boiling water. Boil for about 30 seconds. Transfer bratwurst to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining wrapped bratwurst.
• Bake bratwursts until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cut each bratwurst crosswise into thirds. Serve with mustard.

Steps:

• Bring pizza dough to room temperature.
• Cut the dough into strips and stretch/roll out.
• Roll up mini hotdogs in pizza dough so the dough wraps around twice - leaving the ends sticking out and cutting off any excess.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet until ready to boil.
• Bring water to a light boil. Add in Baking Soda.
• Once dissolved, boil wrapped hot dogs in water mixture for 20-30 seconds each (working in small batches).
• Remove and place back on baking tray. Brush each lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 425˚F (220˚C) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is nicely browned.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF (218 C)
• Roll pizza dough into balls slightly smaller than the size of a golf ball.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer, then stir in the baking soda. Add dough balls and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the water and place them on a parchment-lined sheet tray.
• Brush each dough ball with egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of coarse salt. Place tray in oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until pretzels turn a deep brown color.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk while whisking. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk begins to thicken slightly. Add in the French's Honey Mustard, cheese, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Let the cheese sauce bubble for a few more minutes to thicken up slightly. Serve immediately with the pretzel bites!
• Enjoy!
