Giant Spinach Dip Stuffed Pretzel Recipes

Steps:

• Let 2 pounds of pizza dough come to room temperature (this might take up to 2 hours). Roll and stretch into a 5-foot rope, then form into a U shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet, letting the ends hang over the side. Lift the ends and twist them twice, then press the ends down to make a pretzel shape. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 450 degrees F until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then split in half and fill with pub cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Unroll the sheets of pizza dough and stack them one on top of the other. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a 36-by-5-inch plank. Lay the cheese down the length of the plank so all the dough it covered. Sprinkle a line of jalapenos down the center of the cheese. Fold the dough in half lengthwise and pinch the edges together to secure the filling. Roll and stretch the dough with your hands to make a 5-foot rope.
• Form the rope into a giant pretzel shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the dough is almost completely cooked through and golden brown all over, about 30 minutes.
• Dissolve the baking soda in 1/2 cup hot water. Brush the pretzel all over with the soda water and continue baking until dark golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes more. Brush with the butter and sprinkle with salt. Let cool 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Steps:

• PRETZELS: Proof yeast with brown sugar and warm water. Let sit for about 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.
• Add flour and melted butter; mix until combined. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Remove the dough ball, oil the bowl with vegetable oil, and return the dough to the bowl. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
• FILLING: Combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, feta, garlic, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and parsley in a bowl until smooth.
• Add spinach, artichokes, and salt and pepper to taste.
• TO ASSEMBLE: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Bring about 10 cups (2.4 L) of water to a boil with 2⁄3 cups (85 G) baking soda.
• In the meantime, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, and then flatten each rope into a rectangle. Spoon a little under 2 tbsp of the spinach filling along the length of each piece. Roll the dough over the filling and pinch the seams together, forming a log.
• Fold into a pretzel shape: make a U-shape with each rope, cross the ends once or twice, and bring the ends down, sealing against the bottom of the U-shape.
• Place each pretzel onto the lined baking sheet.
• Use a large slotted spoon to gently place each pretzel into the boiling baking soda bath, one at a time. Boil for about 30 seconds each, flipping halfway.
• Remove them with the slotted spoon and replace them onto the sheet pan.
• Beat the egg in a small bowl with 1 tbsp water. Brush the top of each pretzel with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake for about 15 minutes until dark golden brown.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the water and sugar. Add the yeast and let rest for 5 minutes, until it starts to foam.
• Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil, and mix thoroughly until the dough comes together.
• Remove the dough, grease the bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then return the dough to the bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place for 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using your fingers or a rolling pin, stretch or roll the dough out into a long, thin strip, about 30 inches (76 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) wide.
• Spread the softened cream cheese down the middle of the dough strip, leaving a 1-inch (2 cm) border on each end.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan, chives, and black pepper over the first third of the cream cheese on the dough strip.
• Spread the pizza sauce over the middle third of cream cheese. Place the mozzarella and pepperoni over the sauce.
• Sprinkle the bacon and cheddar cheese over the cream cheese on the last third of the dough strip.
• Fold and pinch the dough around the cheese fillings along the entire strip, ensuring the ends are closed. Roll slightly to seal and lengthen.
• Carefully form a pretzel shape by taking the ends of the strip, making a "U" shape, twisting the ends around each other, and connecting the ends to the bottom of the "U" shape.
• Transfer the pretzel to the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Cool for 10 minutes, then brush with melted butter before serving.
• Enjoy!
