Step 1

In your bread machine basket add the warm water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in that order. Place in bread machine, and put on on the dough setting. Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the basket, and punch down the dough.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 450F. In a soup pot, bring 6 tbsp baking soda + 6 cups water to a boil.

Step 3

Divide dough into 6. Roll each into 3ft long strands, then flatten with a rolling pin. Place a line of pizza sauce down the middle, leaving space on each side and at the ends. Sprinkle cheese on top of the pizza sauce. Press the “clean” sides into each other, then pinch them together tightly. Pinch the ends closed. It is important the seams are sealed tightly. I often will do a second pinch to conceal the original seam. Form into a pretzel.

Step 4

Divide dough into 10. Roll into 1/4” thick rectangle. . Place a line of pizza sauce down the middle, leaving space on each side and at the ends. Sprinkle cheese on top of the pizza sauce. Press the “clean” sides into each other, then pinch them together tightly. Pinch the ends closed. It is important the seams are sealed tightly. I often will do a second pinch to conceal the original seam.

Step 5

Boil the pretzels in baking soda solution for 30 seconds each. Place on a baking dish and bake until golden brown, baking time various, but 10-12 minutes should be the approximate baking time.

Step 6

I like to freeze them, and take them out as needed. I microwave them for 30-45 seconds then toast in my toaster oven until they’re heated throughout.
