Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pretzel dough
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- 4 breakfast sausage links, cooked and chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 cups water
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
- Coarse salt, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the rolls don’t stick and cleanup is easy.
- Divide and Shape Dough: Slice the dough into 4 equal portions, then roll each piece into a rectangle large enough to fill and roll.
- Fill and Roll: Add a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs, chopped sausage, and cheddar cheese to one end of each rectangle. Roll each up tightly, pinching the ends and seam to seal and keep the filling inside.
- Boil in Baking Soda Bath: In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water and 1/4 cup baking soda to a boil. Use a slotted spoon to gently lower each stuffed roll into the boiling water for about 30 seconds. This gives that signature pretzel chew and flavor. Remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Egg Wash and Salt: Brush each roll with egg yolk for a golden color and sprinkle generously with coarse salt for that classic pretzel finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are a deep golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Cool and Serve: Let the stuffed pretzel rolls cool for several minutes before serving—they’re best enjoyed warm!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding chopped cooked bacon or sautéed peppers to the filling.
- Homemade pretzel dough can be used for a more traditional pretzel taste.
- Serve with a side of spicy mustard or cheese sauce for dipping.
- These rolls can be prepped in advance and baked in the morning for a quicker breakfast.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture—microwaving can make the dough soggy.
