I caught the last half of a morning talk show last week where they were making chocolately pretzels. While this didn't sound appealing, I loved the basic concept of using pizza dough to make soft pretzels.
I made homemade soft pretzels with marinara dipping sauce. for 5 hungry girls at our house tonight. They disappeared almost as soon as they were put on the table.
Here's the recipe:
1 package fresh pizza dough
kosher salt
garlic salt (optional)
marinara sauce
Preheat oven to 400. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously, and line a cookie sheet with a Silapt mat (if you don't have one, line with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
While the water boils, take small pieces of the pizza dough and roll into finger sized pieces. When the water boils, drop the dough balls into the water and cook until the pieces float to the surface, about 30-45 seconds.
Remove from water, place on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with kosher or garlic salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until bites are light golden. Serve with a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping.
-Options-
Drizzle boiled dough pieces with olive oil, garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese, bake as directed.
