6 servings

Make a batch of Epicure's Basic Pizza Dough or save time and start with store-bought pizza dough. Both make big, fluffy, chubby pretzels best eaten straight out of the oven!

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe prepared Basic Pizza Dough
  • 1 pkg dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1⁄2 tsp Sea Salt, ground
  • 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Everything Bagel Whole Food Topper
  • 1 egg + 1 tbsp water or milk, lightly beaten, for egg wash
  • Sea Salt, to taste

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C).
  2. Cut pizza dough into 6 pieces and roll each one into a rectangle.
  3. Sprinkle with topper.
  4. Starting with one long edge, roll up dough to form a log. Using both hands, roll log into a long rope at least 16" long.
  5. Form each rope into the shape of a pretzel, then place on Sheet Pan lined with Sheet Pan Liner. Generously brush tops with egg wash, then liberally sprinkle with Sea Salt. Bake until golden, 15–17 minutes.
