Buttery Amish style soft pretzel logs stuffed with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. The perfect breakfast or snack anytime of the day!
The Inspiration
I discovered stuffed pretzel logs maybe 2 years ago at an Amish market. WOW, so simple but so good. It's all in the texture and flavor, a soft pretzel with a slight crust stuffed with your favorite fillings and dipped in butter.
My go to is the BBQ rib and cheese stuffed pretzel but they also have bacon, egg, and cheese; steak and cheese; chicken, bacon, and ranch; and many other combinations!
Today, we're making pizza stuffed pretzels with peperoni and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a stand mixer with a dough hook add the dough ingredients and knead for 10 minutes. Cover and rest until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 pieces.
- Roll out a piece into a rectangle about 4x7 inches. Layer mozzarella and pepperoni on the bottom half of the dough.
- Fold the dough over and pinch the seam to seal. Lightly roll to smooth out the seam and place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Prepare the water bath by mixing hot water with baking soda in a bowl. Dip the pretzel logs into the mixture and place them back on the baking sheet. Top with pretzel salt and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Brush with melted butter and serve with marinara sauce.
Tasty Tips
- Experiment with your favorite fillings! Sausage, egg and cheese, cheesesteak, pulled pork, and many others!
- Use coarse salt if you don't have pretzel salt for a classic pretzel look.
