Pizza Stuffed Pretzel Rolls Recipe

Pizza Stuffed Pretzel Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 batch Pizza dough
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 2 oz peperoni, chopped
• 1/2 cup cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, whatever you want)
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 2 tbs sugar
• 3 tbs melted butter
• course salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Start by placing the hunk of dough on a lightly floured surface.
3. Shape the dough into a long log. Cut into two equal halves, then cut each half in half (giving you four equal logs)
4. Then cut each log in half the other way
5. Now you have 8 pieces! Cut each piece in half and you are finally done with the cutting and you have 16 dough pieces ready to be filled.
6. Roll each dough piece on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin. Top with about 1 to 2 tbs sauce, 2 tbs cheese and 1 tbs pepperoni.
7. Wet the edges of the dough (the best way to do this is to place a small bowl of water near you and wet your fingertips) and pinch the edges tightly together.
8. Place on a baking sheet, covered with a Silpat.
9. Fill a large pot with water, making sure you have enough room for it to bubble up, but deep enough for the rolls to fit in. Add the 2 tbs sugar and allow to boil, add the baking soda (there will be lots of bubbling), add the buns (about 4 at a time) and allow to boil for about 30 seconds, remove with a large slotted spoon and return to baking sheet.
10. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
11. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until a dark golden brown.

Note: if you want to freeze these, allow to cool, place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 weeks. To re-heat, bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until cooked though.
