Pizza Pretzels

These were so yummy! I found them on the Pillsbury website and thought they would be something fun for the boys. Sorry...this is the only picture I took. It is filled with pepperoni and ooey, gooey cheese. Dip it it Ranch or Pizza Sauce. Everyone loved it!

Pizza Pretzels

1 TBS Olive Oil

1 TBS cornmeal

1 TBS flour

1 can refrigerated classic pizza crust

28 slices pepperoni

8 pieces (1 oz. each) mozzarella string cheese

4 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese

1 c. pizza sauce, heated

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Brush large cookie sheet with 1/2 TBS of the oil. Sprinkle cookie sheet with cornmeal

Sprinkle flour over work surface. On floured surface, unroll pizza crust dough; starting at center, press dough into 16x10 inch rectangle. With pizza cutter, cut dough lengthwise into 4 (2 1/2 " wide) strips.

Evenly place 7 pepperoni slices on each dough strip, leaving 1/2 inch on each end uncovered. cut each sring cheese in half lengthwise. Place 4 cheese halves on pepperoni on each dough strip, overlapping ends to fit.

Bring up sides of each dough strip over pepperoni and cheese, and tightly pinch together, stretching dough as necessary to fully enclose cheese and pepperoni; pinch ends to seal. Lightly roll and shape into 16" logs. To make pretzel shape, form each log into U-shape, then cross the ends and fold dough over so ends rest on bottom of U-shape. Place pretzels on cookie sheet. Brush pretzels with remaining 1/2 TBS oil; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake 13-17 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown. Serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
