Description
These Cheeseburger Pretzel Bombs are a perfect snack explosion of flavor, combining juicy beef, melted cheddar, and tangy pickles inside a soft pretzel bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup dill pickle relish
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
- Optional: melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain fat and let cool slightly.
- Stir in cheddar cheese cubes and pickle relish into the cooked beef.
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll pizza dough and cut into 16 equal pieces.
- Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each dough piece. Fold dough around filling and pinch seams to seal, forming a ball.
- In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add baking soda (careful—it will foam). Boil pretzel bombs in batches for 30 seconds each. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each bomb with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Optional: brush with melted butter after baking. Serve warm.
Notes
These bombs are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
