Pizza Stuffed Pretzel Bites

Spicy pepperoni and a creamy cheese blend is rolled into soft pretzel dough.


Hun... What's for Dinner? | Spicy pepperoni and a creamy cheese blend is rolled into soft pretzel dough.



This is a recipe that I entered into a Real Woman of Philadelphia Canada contest a few years back. It won a place in the Season 1 cookbook and I would like to share it with you today. It is a wonderful appetizer, perfect for game night, boys night in, or even for a small get together. Everyone seems to love pizza and soft pretzels, so why not put them together into one heck of an awesome appetizer?


The kids love these. Think of these as kick up pizza rolls. Your guest will be digging in and begging for more!




Pizza Stuffed Pretzel Bites

printable version

3/4 C warm water
1 1/4 tsp fast acting yeast
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 C flour
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp each dried basil and oregano
1 C mozzarella cheese, finely shredded
3/4 C Cheddar, finely shredded, divided
pepperoni slices
Parmesan cheese
1 egg
water
2 C favourite marinara sauce, of leftover meat sauce

In a medium bowl, add sugar to warm water then sprinkle yeast on top. Let float for a minute then stir to dissolve the yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes as yeast activates and starts to foam. Add salt and flour and knead 5-10 minutes; adding more flour as needed to reduce stickiness. Divide dough in to 12 pieces and roll each piece into a long rope. With a rolling pin, flaten each rope to 1 1/2 inch wide.

In a seperate bowl, mix cream cheese with mozzarella, 1/2 C Cheddar, garlic powder, basil and oregano; mixing to combine thoroughly. Spread some of the cheese mixture onto every piece of dough, leaving a slight border along one of the long sides. Place pepperoni slices ontop of the cheese. Fold half of the dough (long side) over to the center. Fold remaining daugh over to the center and pinch seams (so that the filling is inside and you are left with a stuffed tube of dough), along with ends.

Place stuffed dough onto baking sheets. Beat egg with a touch of water, to make an egg wash. Brush tops of dough with egg wash and sprinkle some with Parmesan and others with remaining cheddar.

Bake at 400 degrees, until dough is golden and tops are browned. Let cool 10 minutes, before slicicng. Slice on the diagonal, into 1 inch pieces and serve with warmed marinara or meat sauce.

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and ...

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and...

Crockpot Moose Stew

Tender wild moose, is slow cooked all day with potatoes, peas, carrots and herbs, resulting in a hearty and delicious cold weather dish. I can say that I've missed blogging. I've missed creating recipes, taking photographs and sharing them with you. Sometimes life gets in the way, which is the case here. Five years ago my life took a turn I never thought it would. I suddenly found myself as a single mom, who suddenly had to find a job and be both mom and dad to my children. That transition, along with trying to heal a hurt and broken heart, was too much to focus on and things like my blog fell to the wayside. They say things in your life happen for a reason and that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well let me tell you, I was able to build myself back up and show my children that their mom is a strong and determined woman that will always be there for them, even when she feels defeated. Five years later, I can proudly say that I am doing better then I have in a lon...
