Ingredients
- 1 tube (13.8 ounces) pizza dough
- 8 large eggs, scrambled (about 2 cups), prepared to your liking, plus ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups (226 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
- 5 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
- 5 cups water (for boiling)
- ¼ cup (55 g) baking soda (for the boiling water)
- 1 large egg, room temperature, beaten (for egg wash)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Butter Topping (optional)
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F* and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board. Remove the pizza dough from the package and place it onto the board. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 20x14-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into 4, 5-inch wide strips.
- On each strip of dough, add ½ cup of scrambled eggs, ½ cup of cheese, and 2 tablespoons of crumbled bacon. Tightly roll the filling in the dough until it is completely wrapped, pinching the ends together to seal.
- To a medium saucepan over medium heat, add water. Bring the water to a light boil. Add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.
- Working one at a time, add a pretzel roll to the boiling water and boil for 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pretzel roll and place it on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pretzel rolls.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the outside of each with the beaten egg. Sprinkle each evenly with salt.
- Using a sharp knife, cut three diagonal slits on the top of each roll.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
- In the final minutes of baking the pretzel rolls, combine the melted butter with salt.
- Brush the baked pretzel rolls with the butter mixture and serve garnished with parsley. (optional)
