Provided by Trisha Yearwood

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.

PIZZA DOUGH PRETZELS



Pizza Dough Pretzels image

When you suddenly get a craving for homemade soft pretzels and you're not at the mall, you won't need to wait for dough to rise if you use store-bought pizza dough! Serve, of course, with mustard.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Pretzel Recipes

Time 47m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 (16 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon cornmeal, or as needed
6 cups water
⅓ cup baking soda
coarse salt

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.

QUICK AND EASY PRETZEL BITES WITH NUTELLA® DIPPING SAUCE



Quick and Easy Pretzel Bites with Nutella® Dipping Sauce image

Very quick and easy pretzel bites with two dipping sauces. This came together kind of by accident when the kids wanted a snack after school. We have made homemade pretzels before and I have to admit that was a little time consuming. The trick with this shortcut is the baking soda water bath. I love Nutella®. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date on your yeast packet and use warm water (105-115°F) to activate it. Proof the yeast for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough to ensure it's active and ready to work its magic.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly: Kneading the dough for at least 5-7 minutes develops the gluten, which gives the pretzels their chewy texture. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty and work the dough until it's smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: Choose a warm spot in your kitchen, such as near a sunny window or on top of the stove, to let the dough rise. This will help it double in size and become light and airy.
  • Shape the pretzels carefully: When shaping the pretzels, be gentle and take your time. Roll the dough into long ropes and then twist them into the classic pretzel shape. Make sure the ends are tucked in securely so they don't unravel during baking.
  • Boil the pretzels briefly before baking: This step is essential for giving the pretzels their signature chewy crust. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda, and then carefully drop in the shaped pretzels. Boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the pretzels with salt before baking: Just before baking, sprinkle the pretzels generously with coarse salt. This will give them a delicious salty flavor and help create a crispy crust.
