Trolling the internets, as I'm wont to do as of late, has turned up a recipe for Pizza Stuffed Pretzels, which is actually a slightly harder recipe than the one it's based off of from Rachel Ray.
Seriously? Why make it more difficult.
Ultimately, here's what I did...
Pre-made whole wheat pizza dough ball
Bag of Mozzarella Cheese
4 oz. of Asiago Cheese
Pepperoni
Olive Oil
Dash of Italian Seasoning
Pizza Sauce (pre-made) for dipping
Thomas stretched out dough until it was the size of a cookie sheet. I cut it (the long way) into four equal strips.
Then, I added mozzarella cheese, a layer of pepperoni, then sprinkled Asiago cheese.
From there, I rolled it into a log shape, and finally into the pretzel shape.
I placed each pretzel onto a greased cookie sheet. With a basting brush, I lightly brushed each one with olive oil, then sprinkled a combo of the cheeses on top, as well as a dash of Italian Seasoning.
Finally, I baked them at 400 for 15-20 minutes (I love when the cheese is crisp). I warmed up the pizza sauce in the microwave, and served the pretzels with the sauce on the side to dip.
Pretty simple for a Friday night, and absolutely delicious. It's a nice change from the standard homemade pizza, and if you're feeling adventurous, then play around with the fillings. Make a chicken, pineapple, and (pre-cooked) peppers with a BBQ sauce dipper. Who knows, but the possibilities are only limited to your imagination.
It may seem childish, but it was darn sure delicious!!
