Stuffed Breakfast Pretzel Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pretzel Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup baking soda (for boiling)
- Coarse sea salt (for topping)
For the Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or bacon)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Add the cooked sausage, cheese, and diced bell peppers (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Shape the Pretzel Rolls:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle and place a spoonful of the filling in the center.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Shape into a ball and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Boil the Pretzel Rolls:
- In a large pot, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda carefully (it will bubble up).
- Boil each pretzel roll for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
-
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Serve:
- Allow the pretzel rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Enjoy!
