Pizza Dough Pretzels
Traditional soft pretzels are amazing and if you need a good recipe for them, then check out my favorite Homemade Soft Pretzels, but today I’m excited to show you a shortcut to making soft, salty, delicious pretzels at home.
This recipe uses store-bought pizza dough instead of making your own and they taste amazing. The only steps this recipe takes are rolling out the dough, twisting them into shape and popping them into boiling water. After that, you brush them with butter, sprinkle them with salt, bake them in the oven and you’re done!
Trust me when I tell you that these pretzels won’t last long, especially when you serve them warm and with your favorite dipping sauce.
If you plan on making soft pretzels at home more than once, then I highly recommend purchasing this pretzel salt for the most delicious results.
Ingredients used in Pizza Dough Pretzels:
- pizza dough
- water
- baking soda
- egg
- butter
- coarse pretzel salt
Instructions for making Pizza Dough Pretzels:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add water and baking soda to a large saucepan and cook over high heat until boiling, then reduce heat to a slow boil.
Unroll the pizza dough and cut into one-inch strips.
Roll each strip into a 12-inch long rope.
Fold the rope in half and twist the ends together in the center, then fold the twist down to form a pretzel shape.
Press the ends of the pretzel down to hold them into place.
Place each pretzel into the boiling water with baking soda for 30 seconds, then transfer each one to a paper towel lined plate to catch extra drips.
Next, place each pretzel onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet, and brush with the egg.
Bake at 350 F for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove pretzels from the oven and brush with melted butter.
Sprinkle pretzels with pretzel salt before serving.
Serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
