Pretzel Pie

What is pretzel Pie? quite simply, it is pretzel dough shaped like an eggroll, with pie filling inside of it. Pretzel pies are the ultimate snack food. Its chewy, it holds together, its sweet, and has an awesome taste. The great part of this snack is that for something this good and extreme, it doesnt take too much much work. All that is needed is to make the dough, shape the pies, and bake. Pies will no longer be large circular pastries, but odd looking pretzels, with a surprising taste.

Step 1: Gather the ingredients!

The ingredients for the pretzel pies is fairly easy to get, nothing weird or odd.

You will need the following for a batch
Dough
3 cups flour* ( might change a little depending on the flour*)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water (luke warm)

Glaze
1 egg
1 teaspoon water

and pie filling! I used a can, but if you really want to, you can make your own (my way is easier)

If you seal them up REAL WELL so they don't leak, you could give them a dunk for about 30 secs in a big pan of boiling water (10 cups) with about a 2/3 cup of baking soda in it before glazing. That would give them a much better chewy brown coat when they bake that would be more uniform and less reliant on the eggwash for browning. This is because the weak alkali gelatinizes outer starches, converting some into sugars that get nice and brown and chewy. If you seal up your pies real good, the solution shouldn't leak in. Then glaze, score, and bake. Also, your oven might not be evenly baking. Give the pans a spin and switch them around halfway through baking to even out the heat.

Ardrhi, you might want to check that baking soda amount again. Most every recipe or mention of using a baking soda bath for pretzels or bagels calls for ONE TABLESPOON of baking soda per pot of water. 2/3 cup would be great if you are going to clean the oven with it later, but that will most likely leave an unpleasant taste on whatever you're baking.

You only dunk 'em for about 30 seconds. The baking soda doesn't act as an ingredient, it acts to chemically change the starch in the surface of the dough. The older tradition is to use lye water, but lye can be dangerous to work with, especially in boiling water, so substituting a weaker alkali, and more of it, accomplishes pretty much the same thing. It doesn't make them taste like baking soda (or lye), or put any of either in the pretzel, it gelatinizes the starch, and when you bake it, you get that yummy, golden-brown, glossy and chewy outer crust that makes the best pretzels.

The 10 cups of water with 2/3 cup of baking soda for the alkali bath comes from an Alton Brown soft pretzel recipe. I *did* check the recipe before I posted it.

Haha I might try this. When I first saw it, I thought it was a cake sized pretzel and it kinda grossed me out. Looks really good now though!

I got stabbed by a hobo when I tried to get him out of the apartment dumpster. I then proceeded to break his arm. I then gave him $1,000, a hug, a katana, and a pretzal pie.

Are these like those fruit pies that they sell in gas stations?

Yummy! I have a fresh basket of peaches at home screaming to be stuffed in a pretzel pocket! Question...You left out some info on the dough...You're using yeast. Do you let it rise and punch it down? How long do you knead the dough in the bread machine/mixer? Or is it one of those"when it looks right" things?
