STUFFED PRETZEL CRUST PIZZA RECIPES

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!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup mozzarella with mini pepperoni, and Parmesan. Season with salt and crushed red pepper flakes.  Divide the dough into 6 pieces. Unroll each piece and fold into a rectangle. Roll to flatten into a thinner rectangle. Spoon a thin line of pizza sauce across the length of the dough and top with cheese mixture.  Seal dough tightly, making sure no cheese is exposed, and carefully roll into a tight rope. Twist into a pretzel shape and repeat with remaining dough, sauce, and cheese mixture. Arrange pretzels on prepared pans.  In a small bowl, whisk baking soda into the warm water until fully dissolved. Brush baking soda solution onto each pretzel.  Combine melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic salt and brush on top of pretzels. Arrange pepperoni on top of pretzels. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella. Bake pretzels until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with more pizza sauce and Parmesan, if desired.
