Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Dough:
- 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
Baking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 3–4 tablespoons baking soda
- 8 cups (64 fluid ounces) water
Instructions
- Separate the pizza dough into four uniform segments, stretching each piece into an elongated shape and gently flattening with a rolling pin to create thin rectangular surfaces.
- Distribute mini marshmallows and chocolate chips centrally along the length of each dough segment, carefully folding and pressing edges to completely encase the sweet filling, ensuring no ingredients escape.
- Artfully transform each dough log into a classic pretzel configuration, using water as a sealing agent to secure the intricate twists and prevent potential filling leakage.
- Generate a boiling liquid solution by combining water and baking soda in a large pot. Submerge each pretzel for precisely 30 seconds per side, which enhances the exterior’s characteristic glossy brown appearance and contributes to a chewy texture.
- Generously coat the pretzels with melted butter, then transfer to a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 500°F for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until the surface achieves a rich golden-brown coloration and the filling becomes delightfully molten.
- Remove from oven and allow momentary cooling. Serve immediately to experience the optimal combination of crisp exterior and gooey interior, capturing the quintessential s’mores essence within a pretzel framework.
Notes
- Use room temperature dough for easier handling and stretching without tearing.
- Freeze chocolate chips briefly before adding to prevent complete melting during baking.
- Pinch pretzel seams extra firmly to prevent filling from leaking during boiling and baking process.
- Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top before baking for authentic s’mores flavor and crunchy texture.
- Try different chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate for unique taste profiles.
- Consider using gluten-free pizza dough to make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
- Allow pretzels to cool slightly before serving to prevent burning and let filling set properly.
