Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
Two 13.8-ounce tubes refrigerated pizza dough
12 slices American cheese
12 pickled jalapenos, chopped
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pretzel salt, or other coarse salt, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Unroll the sheets of pizza dough and stack them one on top of the other. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 36-by-5-inch plank. Lay the cheese down the length of the plank so all the dough it covered. Sprinkle a line of jalapenos down the center of the cheese. Fold the dough in half lengthwise and pinch the edges together to secure the filling. Roll and stretch the dough with your hands to make a 5-foot rope.
  • Form the rope into a giant pretzel shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is almost completely cooked through and golden brown all over, about 30 minutes.
  • Dissolve the baking soda in 1/2 cup hot water. Brush the pretzel all over with the soda water and continue baking until dark golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes more. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with salt. Let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup wheat beer, at room temperature
1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cups baking soda ((for boiling the pretzels))
1 egg, beaten
Coarse sea salt
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry of excess water
1 (6.7 ounce) jar marinated artichokes, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the water, brown sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the dough hook until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.2. Add the beer, melted butter, salt, and flour to the mixture and mix on low-speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough appears too wet, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a flat surface and knead into a ball with your hands. Coat a large bowl with oil, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size. This will take about 1 hour.3. Meanwhile, make the dip. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, and a pinch of crushed red pepper and salt. Stir in the spinach and artichokes. 4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.5. Divide the pretzel dough into 8 equal balls and roll each out into a rectangle (about 11x3 inches). Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons spinach and artichoke dip along the length of each piece. Starting with the opposite side, roll the dough up into a log, enclosing the toppings inside. Pinch the seams together and then very gently roll the dough with your hands to form an even cylinder and fully enclose the filling (see above photos).6. To shape into pretzels, take the right side and cross over to the left. Cross right to left again and flip up. Slowly add the baking soda to the boiling water. Boil the pretzels in the water, 2 at a time for 30 seconds, splashing the tops with the warmed water using a spoon. Remove with a large flat slotted spatula or a spider. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper placing 4 pretzels on each. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and season liberally with sea salt. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown.7. Remove pretzels from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! If needed, the pretzels can be reheated in a 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes.

1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh chives, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

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.

  • 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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup warm water, (110°-115°F) 40-46°C
20 ½ cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons melted butter
vegetable oil
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup grated parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon fresh parsley
½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
185 g marinated artichokes, 6.7 oz
salt and pepper, to taste
⅔ cup baking soda
1 egg
coarse salt, or pretzel salt

Steps:

  • PRETZELS: Proof yeast with brown sugar and warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
  • Add flour and melted butter; mix until combined. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Remove the dough ball, oil the bowl with vegetable oil, and return the dough to the bowl. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
  • FILLING: Combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, feta, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and parsley in a bowl until smooth.
  • Add spinach, artichokes, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • TO ASSEMBLE: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Bring about 10 cups (2.4 L) of water to a boil with 2⁄3 cups (85 G) baking soda.
  • In the meantime, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, and then flatten each rope into a rectangle. Spoon a little under 2 tbsp of the spinach filling along the length of each piece. Roll the dough over the filling and pinch the seams together, forming a log.
  • Fold into a pretzel shape: make a U-shape with each rope, cross the ends once or twice, and bring the ends down, sealing against the bottom of the U-shape.
  • Place each pretzel onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Use a large slotted spoon to gently place each pretzel into the boiling baking soda bath, one at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds each, flipping halfway.
  • Remove them with the slotted spoon and replace them onto the sheet pan.
  • Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 tbsp water. Brush the top of each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for about 15 minutes until dark golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the pretzel dough, you will need active dry yeast, sugar, warm water, butter, salt, and all-purpose flour. Activate the yeast in warm water with sugar before adding it to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
  • For the spinach dip filling, you will need fresh spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Wilt the spinach before adding it to the other ingredients. Mix until well combined.
