Pretzel Puffs

More About This Recipe

• You can make these baked pretzel bites yourself with refrigerated pizza dough and some easy stuffing ingredients!
  
  Hold up – you don't have to head to the mall to get your pretzel on. With a can of Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust, you can have a hot batch of homemade pretzels outta the oven in minutes.
  
  Better than the mall, you ask? Well, yeah huh, 'cause ours are stuffed with super-sharp cheddar, jalapeno, and bacon.
  
  You need four ingredients. FOUR. Life is seriously this easy.
  
  Watch how easy.
  
  Tuck in the stuffing stuff.
  
  Re-roll.
  
  Seal 'em up.
  
  Prepare the water bath. Don't get weirded out. All pretzels need a good bath to get that fabulous chewy texture inside.
  
  So, you're gonna boil your little pretzel puffs in a water-and-baking-soda bath. It lends that mall flavor and texture to your homespun batch of yumminess.
  
  Once they've boiled like little dumplings for about three minutes, pop your pretzel puffs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Give 'em a quick brush of egg white and a sprinkling of coarse kosher salt up top.
  
  Bake until golden brown.
  
  Then, bite.
  
  Way better than the mall, y'all!
