    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

    1. 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.
    1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into 8 pieces.
    1. Roll out a piece into a rectangle about 4x7 inches. Layer mozzarella and pepperoni on the bottom half of the dough.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.
    1. 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.

    FAQs

    How do I store stuffed pretzel logs?

    Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to a month in an airtight container.

    How do I reheat pretzel logs?

    If frozen, defrost in the fridge the day before. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-8 minutes until heated through.
