Twisted Recipe #5 Pretzel Pizza!

Okay, so I don't know about anybody else, but I was for one, super excited about Little Caesar's new Pretzel Pizza...and then Horribly disappointed that it tasted like poo. 
Solution, make my own damn pretzel pizza! 

What you'll need:
  • 1 1/2 cup of hot water
  • 1 tbs of sugar
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 1 packet of yeast 
  • 4 1/2 cups of flower
  • 10 cups of water
  • 2/3 cups baking soda
  • 3 egg yokes
  • Another tbs of water
  • Pizza toppings!



1. Combine in a mixing bowl:
  • 1 1/2 cup of hot water
  • 1 tbs of sugar
  • 2 tsp of salt
  • 1 packet of yeast 
Wait for it to get all foamy
  • 4 1/2 cups of flower
And mix, kneed, and let sit for 55 minutes 

2. Make dough into whatever pizza/ calzone-type shape you want.

I suck at dough business, so what I got was an odd oblong of a whatever...


3. In a large pan (as wide as possible) bring to a boil, 10 cups of water and 2/3 cups baking soda.

4. Dip the dough into the water. 

I held mine out like a sheet and just slid it over the top of the water from end to end on both sides...it was not easy. When I do this again, I'll have to try something else maybe. I can't take a picture and dip funky shaped down into a pan at the same time, but look, it's wet now... 


5. Fill or top your pizza with whatever you like! Clella and I stuck with pepperoni, marinara, olives and mozzarella
6. Mix 3 egg yokes with 1 tbs of water and brush it over the exposed dough.

Because my funky shaped dough was too long for a backing sheet I flipped it over and made a calzone!...only just now realizing I could have simply made two pizzas... and of course my little daughter, Morrighan, had to have her own little pizza on the side.


7. You can add the traditional pretzel salt to the exposed dough. I added Italian seasonings and cheese... 


8. Bake for 12-14 minute at 450 degrees and done!


Mine looks funny but it tasted Amazeballs! Very filling, this pizza.

Happy Eating!
