Crescent Roll Pretzels
An enjoyable cooking idea: Crafting homemade pretzels using refrigerated crescent dough.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough (such as Pillsbury®
- 8 cups water
- 3 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 small egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine 8 cups water and baking soda in a large pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and keep water at a simmer.
- Start at the large end and roll each crescent roll triangle into a large rope, about 12 inches long. Form rope into the shape of a pretzel.
- Using a spider strainer, lower 1 pretzel at a time into the simmering water for 7 to 8 seconds. Place pretzels on parchment lined baking sheet. Combine egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush each pretzel with egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Brush each pretzel with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt while still hot.
