Does anyone else dislike the “What is your favorite ____?” questions?  I don’t like them because I am one of those people whose mind is constantly changing.  When it’s about a favorite movie, I usually say The Sandlot, or Moulin Rouge, but I know I have other favorites that more than likely top both of those.  When it comes to favorite food, I always say brownies, but the other day I told Ben I’m now going to say chocolate chip cookies. Today, though?  I want to say pretzel bread.

So, today, if you ask me my favorite food, I’m going to tell you pretzel bread.  I have to believe that most people answer this (especially children) with “pizza!”  And because it’s such the common response, I never answer pizza. But secretly, pizza really is one of my favorite foods!  So do the math here… pretzel bread + pepperoni pizza = this recipe.

Pepperoni Pretzel Bread Stromboli

My in-laws live near Annapolis, Maryland where there is an Amish Market I’ve been to only a few times. Each time we go, though, I have to get their pepperoni pretzel sticks.  Soft homemade pretzels with pepperoni and cheese baked in the middle. I dream of these.  Finally, I made my own version turned into individual meal portions that resemble Stromboli.

I store leftovers in the freezer and throw them in the microwave when I’m ready for a quick lunch. Very satisfying!  Especially if your favorite foods are soft pretzels and pizza. 😉

Pepperoni pizza rolled into soft pretzel bread.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 4 Tablespoons butter , melted
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt , plus more for topping
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 22 ounces (about 4 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil (nonstick) spray, for pan and bowl
  • 48-64 pepperoni slices
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 10 cups water
  • 2/3 cups baking soda
  • 1 large egg yolk , beaten with 1 Tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter, sugar, salt and 1 1/2 cups warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Add the flour and mix with the dough hook attachment on low speed. Once the dough comes together, increase the speed to medium and mix for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Remove the dough from the bowl, wipe the bowl and then spray with the vegetable oil. Return the dough to the bowl, turning once to cover both sides with the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the lower third of the oven. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with vegetable oil; set aside. (Alternatively, you can use a silicone liner with no spray.)
  3. Turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface or pastry mat. Divide the dough into 8 equal dough balls. Working with one portion of dough at a time and keeping the rest covered with a clean kitchen towel, roll the dough ball into a 4x8-inch rectangle.
  4. Layer a tablespoon of cheese right down the middle, then 6-8 pepperoni slices. Top with another tablespoon or two of cheese.
  5. Fold down the top (short ends) of the rectangle, then fold up the bottom.
  6. Fold in the wide sides over top each other.
  7. Pinch all seams shut and gently roll to shape into a log. Set on the lined baking sheet and cover lightly with another clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining 7 dough balls.
  8. Once all stromboli's are shaped and placed on the baking sheet, let rest for about 10 minutes, covered with the kitchen towel.
  9. Meanwhile, bring the 10 cups of water to a boil in a large sauce pan or stock pot, then add the baking soda.
  10. Carefully place two logs in the boiling water for 30 to 40 seconds, turning once. Use a large slotted spoon or spatula to remove from the water and return to the pan. Repeat with remaining stromboli logs. Brush the top of each log with the egg wash then sprinkle with kosher salt. Use a sharp knife to score shallow diagonal lines on the top of each log.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven until dark golden brown and the sound of tapping the loaf is hollow (approximately 10 to 15 minutes.) Allow to cool on a wire rack for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite pizza dipping sauce.
Recipe Notes

If you do not plan to consume the bread the same day, then I would suggest freezing immediately after they hit room temperature. The more fresh they are when you freeze them, the better. Throw them in a freezer bag and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave.
