1-Gathering and Preparing Your Ingredients: Starting with the right setup makes all the difference in this recipe, so begin by preheating your oven to 425°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. This step ensures your rolls bake evenly and don’t stick, setting the stage for a smooth process. Once your oven is ready, roll out the 13.8 ounces of pizza dough into a 20×14-inch rectangle on a floured surface, which helps create the base for stuffing.

2-Gathering and Preparing Your Ingredients: Next, prepare your fillings by scrambling 8 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder to make about 2 cups, and cook and crumble 5 slices of thick-cut bacon ahead of time. Divide 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon to stuff inside. These steps, including boiling 5 cups of water with 1/4 cup baking soda, are key to getting that classic pretzel flavor and texture.

3-Assembling and Cooking the Rolls: After your dough is rolled out, cut it into four 5-inch wide strips and evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon on each one. Roll each strip tightly and pinch the ends to seal, which locks in the savory fillings. Bring the baking soda water to a light boil and carefully boil each roll for 20 seconds before placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

4-Assembling and Cooking the Rolls: Brush the rolls with the beaten large egg for a glossy finish, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and make three diagonal slits on top for even baking. Pop them in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes until they turn golden brown. For the finishing touch, mix 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and brush it over the baked rolls, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley if you like.
