Pretzel Bratwurst Bites
Description
Stuff bratwurst slices into pretzel bites to create a fun party time snack made easy with pizza dough.
Ingredients
•
6 cups water
•
1/3 cup baking soda
•
1 (13 4/5 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
•
12 links smoked bratwurst
•
1 pinch kosher salt
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with foil.
2
Stir together water and baking soda in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil.
3
Meanwhile, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 10x12-inch rectangle. Cut dough into twelve 1-inch strips. Wrap each strip tightly around a bratwurst in a spiral, pinching edges to seal and leaving about 1/2 inch of bratwurst peeking out of each end.
4
Add 3 wrapped bratwurst at a time to the boiling water. Boil for about 30 seconds. Transfer bratwurst to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining wrapped bratwurst.
5
Bake bratwursts until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cut each bratwurst crosswise into thirds. Serve with mustard.
