Pizza Pretzels!

Okay so I love love love the pizza pretzels you can get from Safeway or a lot of different grocery stores, you know the ones that have poppy seeds in them and have the red sauce and a bit of onions and cheese on top! Ya those ones! Well every once in awhile I just crave them, especially when I am about to go on a road trip because they are very much a road trip food to me. I like to make things because well I am too cheap and lazy to drive 30 minutes just to go to the store and buy them. Here is a recipe that I have put together for my pizza pretzels.

Ingredients:

Bread:
1 1/3 Cup of Water
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1 1/4 Teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons of Poppy Seeds
3 Cups of White Flour
1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Bread Machine Yeast

Toppings:
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
1 Shredded Small White Onion
1/2 Cup of Tomato Sauce


Directions:

1) Add the ingredients for the bread to your bread machine in order that is listed. 
2) Set to dough setting and walk away while the machine does the work.
3) Once done pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F
4) Cut the dough into 6 pieces and then roll the dough out to make a long think band (about 15 inches or less) then form into a pretzel shape by taking one end to the middle and making a circle. Repeat with the other side. Place on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper.
5) Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
6) Add toppings to each pretzel and put in the oven for between 15-20 minutes. Check the bottom of the pretzels and if they are not a light brown then let cook for a few more minutes.
7) Let cool and then enjoy!
