Pimiento Cheese Stuffed Soft Pretzels Recipes

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:

• Mash 6 ounces softened cream cheese with chopped string cheese and 2 tablespoons finely chopped pimientos. Spoon the filling into 8 halved and seeded red jalapenos and arrange on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with crushed butter crackers. Bake at 375˚ until golden and the cheese is melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

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!
