Mini Pretzel-Wrapped Bratwursts

Ingredients 0/4

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 450°F and either grease a baking sheet lightly or line it with foil for easy cleanup. In a large pot, combine water and baking soda, then bring it to a boil. While that’s heating up, roll your dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 10 by 12 inches. Cut it into twelve strips that are about an inch wide. Wrap each strip snugly around a bratwurst in a spiral, pinching the dough edges to seal it and leaving about half an inch of the bratwurst showing at both ends.

Step 2

Carefully drop three of the wrapped brats into the boiling water at a time and let them cook for about 30 seconds. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle a bit of salt over the top. Repeat this process with the rest of the wrapped brats.

Step 3

Pop the tray into the oven and bake until the dough turns a lovely golden brown, roughly 12 minutes. Once they’re out of the oven, slice each bratwurst into thirds and serve with your favorite mustard for dipping.
