Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray, for the parchment
One 13.8-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
- Cut the pizza dough widthwise into 8 strips. Using your palms, roll each strip against the counter to create an even log about 18 inches long. Fold the log into the shape of a pretzel, twisting the ends together at the center. Repeat with the remaining strips of dough.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking soda with 2 cups warm water. Using a slotted spatula, lower a pretzel into the baking soda solution and lift out, allowing any excess to drip off. Slide the pretzel onto the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
- In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, oregano, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously over the pretzels.
- Bake the pretzels until deeply golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Garnish with additional Parmesan and serve warm with marinara sauce for dunking.
